It can't be like this anymore,
Why do I do the things I do,
Pleasing my earthly self,
Going back to the sins that I commit,
I have to live, only one way,
Help me to turn my back,
So many chances that you give,
I have to live my life one way.
Before You Almighty Lord,
my wrong doings I will lay.
I just become a fool to You.
Why do I keep on doing them,
over and over and over again.
but I'm hurting the Holy One.
Turn my back and walk away,
but it's easier said than done.
I'm the dog back to its vomit.
Once again, I call upon Your holy name,
Lord God, deliver me from this shame.
It is wrong, when I disobey.
Putting life in my own hands.
Setting myself for the kill,
defying my Father's will.
Realizing what a fool I am.
from these earthly pleasures.
It is You, Lord Jesus Christ,
that I will forever treasure.
show me the way I should live.
Lead me Lord God to do right,
put meaning back in this life.
