(Verse 1)
Oh God life is hard
Please hear me where I stand
Even though life shows I ain't your number one fan
I'm struggling with foul thoughts
I'm caught in foul ways
I don’t care to go on living the foul play
My heart's split apart between what's right and wrong
Many times I end up where I don’t belong
I'm killed by the guilt and how it eats my heart
Then I forget my regrets and again a foul start
I'm tired of living life like the rest of the world
I'm tired of thinking dirty after every girl
I'm tired of the heat within the life that I live
So tired of the guilt because of all my sins
My God give me your ear, see my invisible tears
I got a smile full of pain, anger, and fear
I wanna live correct without having to sweat
Without having to fail through the everyday test
Overcome these mind games that got me flipping inside
God forbid I react on what I feel I can't hide
Oh Lord, I can't afford to live this way to the end
I wanna change, you know?
In Jesus name, Amen
(Verse 2)
(Lord, give me strength)
To be a sign, a symbol, a mascot, a definition, an icon
When the mic's on I want them to hear more than a nice song
I write songs not so they can be impressed with me
But to preach of he who gives me peace like a hippie
Right on!
Make me strong in you and your mighty power
As I put on the full armor to withstand the hour
Lord I no longer wanna be a spiritual coward
So hide me from being the fellow that Melony was talking about
What I did, where I'm from, who I'm with, who's my boy, where I'm going, who's my mans, what's my status, where I stood
Thinking I was good money
The only time I opened your word is when I thought my rhymes were getting rusty
When I know you're all I need to stand tall
My ears ring at your name's mention yes is my answer to the call
My all is all yours
I'm blind as it is so lead me like Saul on the road to Damascus
All I ask is…
(Verse 3)
Being that you are the source of my strength the strength of my life
The battles come but I got my word I call it the pocket knife
You're the vine I'm the branches holding on tight
Through your strength this bum stays super fly
Sure you right!
Even when my weakness is with you that's where my strength is
When I'm chicken like Popeye's his word's like spinach kid
You get me?
As I run and I grow weary
Staying on track with his strength soaring like an eagle Jack
Now I fly through adversity and the strife
And it helps me flee from sin because that's my kryptonite
Even when I fear and sweat
Styles taught me that Christ in me is better than an "S" on my chest
Forget the quick fix and the C.R.E.A.M.
A dollar and a dream
Christ took one for the team defeating Satan's schemes
Hold on to Philippians 4:13
I do it all through Christ who strengthens me
