It can't be like this anymore,
I have to live my life one way.
Before You Almighty Lord,
my wrong doings I will lay.

Why do I do the things I do,
I just become a fool to You.
Why do I keep on doing them,
over and over and over again.

Pleasing my earthly self,
but I'm hurting the Holy One.
Turn my back and walk away,
but it's easier said than done.

Going back to the sins that I commit,
I'm the dog back to its vomit.
Once again, I call upon Your holy name,
Lord God, deliver me from this shame.

I have to live, only one way,
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.

Help me to turn my back,
from these earthly pleasures.
It is You, Lord Jesus Christ,
that I will forever treasure.

So many chances that you give,
show me the way I should live.
Lead me Lord God to do right,
put meaning back in this life.
