You saw my back on You
Trying to be strong, concealing every hurt
Every malfunction of the soul.
It was no longer the flesh that has tempted me
I have not tried to escape from the darkest grip of him
I even tied myself up until I gasp for air -
Drowning with sharks and whales who were all in depth.
To breathe normal, to make you famous
I should be doing those
But instead, I became a ******* of the world
I got my back painful, the labor now is in vain
That wasn't your plan
But how could I..
At times delight with the wicked one.
The Words were already engraved in me
I know, how it should be transforming me
All those filthy things I've done
I almost lose myself assessing my own life.
The circumcision was not by hand
But the cross has carried away every hideous act
I myself am *******, how then could I abandon You?
I was baptized in Spirit and in truth
And the thing is: You've payed every debt
To where my soul was about to meet what's hell.
You just told me I'm forgiven
Even though I tried to turn against You for so long
And reminded me how the world would try
Stealing every thing You've taught in me.
The One who is in me is far greater
Than the one who is in the world
That's why You've told me
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
I am for promotion
I should be the warrior, not the slave
The conqueror, not the one who grieves for lost
No one and nothing shall disqualify me
Nothing shall distract my focus.
And upon Your teachings
By the help of the Holy Spirit,
I will overcome the world for my generation
For You have been victorious already.
I am forgiven and redeemed
The only thing that would matter now
Was You who was in me
And Your great plans and works in me,
That I may praise and offer my thanksgiving.
