stuggle

i fight: to become less of me
i fight: to take my cross
i fight: to end the dichotomy
i fight
i fight: feel like i'm beating air
i fight: to comprehend
i fight: the enemy is always there
i fight

Jesus, help me decrease
with your Spirit lead me
onward through the trials
burn from me the presence of the vile

my body strains against the wind
that rips away my pious mask
claw at the dirt with fingernails
as pride is wrenched out from my grasp

i fight: underneath the burning sky
i fight: and lose again
i fight: against me, myself, and i
i fight
i fight: wanting just to see your face
i fight: and suffer loss
i fight: cleanse me with your saving grace
i fight

Holy Spirit, fill me
in the truth, please guide me
may i love you higher
than anything down here
in the mire
