My Struggle

I don’t do what I want to do
I do what I don’t need
I need to do what I should do
For my soul to be freed

I do things that I shouldn’t do
I don’t do things I should
But when I look for strength I find
Inside there’s nothing good.

The strength I seek is not in me
Not in myself alone
The sin in me, it weighs me down
This is the life I’ve known

But where to find the strength I need
To do the things I should?
With thanks I look outside my self
And seek the One who’s Good.

Romans 7
