Well I've never wrritten a song before but I was workin outside by myself earlier and these words just started flooding my mind...had to come inside and write them down real quick. I play guitar but don't sing. I hear this song in my head like a slow country Jamey Johnson song.. I wish I could sing it like I hear it in my head. I'm no song writer but here it is...
"The Struggle"
Well I'm just a man
Flawed through and through
I don't talk to Jesus
As much as I need to
I hate my old life
And what's left behind
My choices still haunt me
Though I know I was blind
The struggle is real
It's there every day
Do I listen to Jesus
Or go my own way
I heard the truth
And He set me free
But that devil is right there
Still lyin' to me
He says this is your life
Just do what you please
Life wont be hard
If you listen to me
Don't give it all up
And lose all control
Just worry about you
Don't think bout your soul
But there's another voice
He say's listen my son
That devil's a liar
I've already won
His promises are empty
But mine remain true
Just lay it all down
That's what I did for you.
This life will be hard
It sure was for me
Remember the cross
A place called Calvary
Do you think that your better
Than God's only son
I am perfect and spotless
God's righteous one
My struggle was real
But I overcame
My body's now gone
And so is your blame
Don't carry the weight
Of who you used to be
Let it all go
Leave it at my feet.
This isn't your life
Don't do what you please
Life will be hard
If you listen to me
But give it all up
And lose all control
Just think about me
I saved your soul
So I remember his words
And the price that He paid
So I could be free
From my sin and shame
Yes this life is hard
And the struggle remains
So I'll trust in Jesus
Through all of life's pains
