Lord you know there seems to be The good and bad, the two of me One man knows eternity The other knows the dust And in the war between the two The old man rails against the new My flesh says not to look to you My Spirit knows I must Lord, I'm glad you are a man Who knows the pain, who understands The struggle in my soul demands More strength than I possess Don't let me go, you know I'll wander if I can Without your love, temptation's more than I can stand Lord, hear my cry, I'm tired of trying on my own I'm standing face to face with truth I should have known A cross is more than I can carry all alone Lord you know that in my mind I've tried to see, but still I'm blind To living life as you've defined Please help me understand This place that you have brought me to To die in order to renew The fires that forge my ties to you My heart is in your hands So now I lift a prayer to you Lord, help this wandering heart be true To all that you have called me to Until my race is run Don't let me go, you know I'll wander if I can Without your love, temptation's more than I can stand Lord, hear my cry, I'm tired of trying on my own I'm standing face to face with truth I should have known A cross is more than I can carry all alone
