| There is a war inside
|
| Between my spirit and mind
|
| I sit here wondering
|
| «Why oh why?»
|
| I find myself confused
|
| Emotions on the loose
|
| I know what’s right
|
| But it’s often the wrong I choose
|
| Shoulda done it Your way, but just like a child
|
| I’m losing my direction, I need You to guide me
|
| Turn me into someone that’s faithful and true
|
| Give me the strength to live my life for You
|
| Tell me why I do what I don’t wanna do
|
| And I don’t do what I wanna do
|
| Tell me why I do what I don’t wanna do
|
| I live a double life
|
| Sometimes I compromise
|
| I feel ashamed of the way
|
| My heart looks inside
|
| And though I long to obey
|
| Sometimes I drift away
|
| And take for granted
|
| Your never-ending grace
|
| Help me to remember Your love for me
|
| Take me to the river, wash me in Your mercy
|
| You’re the Father of forgiveness, time after time
|
| But still there’s something messing with my mind
|
| Tell me why I do what I don’t wanna do
|
| And I don’t do what I wanna do
|
| Tell me why I do what I don’t wanna do
|
| Tell me why I do what I don’t wanna do
|
| (Oh, help me not to) |
| Do what You don’t want me to
|
| (And do what You do)
|
| Tell me why I do what I don’t wanna do
|
| Only through You
|
| I can do all things that should strengthen me
|
| Only through You
|
| I can do all things that should strengthen me
|
| Only through You
|
| I can do all things that should strengthen me
|
| Only through You I can do
|
| Tell me why I do what I don’t wanna do
|
| And I don’t do what I wanna do
|
| Tell me why I do what I don’t wanna do
|
| Tell me why I do what I don’t wanna do
|
| (Oh, help me not to)
|
| Do what You don’t want me to
|
| (Oh-oh, yeah)
|
| Tell me why I do what I don’t wanna do
|
| (Tell me, tell me)
|
| Do what I don’t wanna do
|
| Tell me why I do what I don’t wanna do |
