Alright, oh yeah There is a war inside Between my spirit and mind I sit here wondering "Why oh why?" I find myself confused Emotions on the loose I know what's right But it's often the wrong I choose Shoulda done it Your way, but just like a child I'm losing my direction, I need You to guide me Turn me into someone that's faithful and true Give me the strength to live my life for You Tell me why I do what I don't wanna do And I don't do what I wanna do Tell me why I do what I don't wanna do I live a double life Sometimes I compromise I feel ashamed of the way My heart looks inside And though I long to obey Sometimes I drift away And take for granted Your never-ending grace Help me to remember Your love for me Take me to the river, wash me in Your mercy You're the Father of forgiveness, time after time But still there's something messing with my mind Tell me why I do what I don't wanna do And I don't do what I wanna do Tell me why I do what I don't wanna do Tell me why I do what I don't wanna do Do what You don't want me to Tell me why I do what I don't wanna do Only through You I can do all things that should strengthen me Only through You I can do all things that should strengthen me Only through You I can do all things that should strengthen me Only through You I can do Tell me why I do what I don't wanna do And I don't do what I wanna do Tell me why I do what I don't wanna do Tell me why I do what I don't wanna do Do what You don't want me to Tell me why I do what I don't wanna do Do what I don't wanna do Tell me why I do what I don't wanna do
