Walking down the road this life is on

The narrow path I try to stay

But I must confess I have a tendency to stray

Id love to call it a mistake

A momentary lapse of faith

But the truth is sometimes I feel like Im being dragged away



By the other side that people never see

A war is on between the good and bad inside of me



Why do I do all the things that I do

When I want to do what is right

Change this wicked heart of mine

Let me walk with you in the new life



So what will ever put an end

To my recurring bout with sin

It seems Im always at a loss for a way to win

When what I really need to do

Is to confront it with the truth

And let Your words of life sink in and make my mind brand new



A transformation that happens over time

Is the product of a renewed mind



Create in me a clean heart

Place Your spirit deep inside

Capture every thought

'Til there's no place left to hide



Why do I do all the things that I do

When I want to do what is right

Change my heart renew my mind

Let me walk with you in the new life
