the fight

You’re calling me now to rest in Your presence
To lay down my burdens and stop my resistance
You’re lifting my head to show that You love me
But why’s it so hard to feel You beside me?

Every step I take to You
Makes me hesitate
Cuz I know that I’m not perfect

Your love gives life
Your Word speaks truth
But I am stumbling through the lies
Your touch sets free
The hurts and fears that bind me
But I am holding on too tight
Oh, forgive this child of Yours
Oh, I just need to be assured
That You won’t let me lose this fight

I know I said I’d put all my trust in You
That I’d forgive myself and learn to lean on You
I know I once prayed that I’d surrender it all
But here I am trying to be the one who’s in control

Every step I take to You
Brings me to my knees
Cuz I know that You’re so worthy

Your love gives life
Your Word speaks truth
But I am stumbling through the lies
Your touch sets free
The hurts and fears that bind me
But I am holding on too tight
Oh, forgive this child of Yours
Oh, I just need to be assured
That You won’t let me lose this fight

What more can I say
What more can I do
In front of the King who knows all things? (x4)

But ask for more faith
Ask for more of You
Because I know You won’t withhold

Your love gives life
Your Word speaks truth
But I am stumbling through the lies
You say it’s okay
That sometimes I turn away
Because You'll never let me go
Oh, forgive this child of Yours
Oh, I just need to be assured
That You won’t let me fight alone.
