My Flesh

I have become weary

I am so weak

My body cries out for rest

Yearning for rest

Tired of the life that is killing me

My flesh, oh, my flesh

Please go away

Wash away in the ocean of my tears

For you only bring sorrow

Nothing but pain

You kill me more and more each day

For every day that you live I die

Making it all pointless

Jesus on the cross pointless

But it’s not

Stop!

Spirit live

Live inside of me

Murder my flesh

My eyes crave the flesh filling desires

Go away!

God I need help

Free me

Set me free

Free from the life that keeps me from you

Keeps me from fulfilling your will

I can no longer kill myself

I feed the beast that eats at my flesh

Save me!

A battle already won but yet I still fight

Only you can win this one

Only you can defeat this
