Romans VII

The very things I hate,

I end up doing

The things I want to do

I just don't do

Lord it seems so sad,

Why am I so bad?

When in my heart

I only want to be like you

The very ones I love

I end up hurting

The ones I want to help

I pass right by

Now I want to be

Finally set free

The grace you've shown,

The love I've known

Please let it shine throught me

I want to love them,

The way you do

I want the serve them,

By serving you

Lord how I known

Your tender heart must be broken

By all those unkempt

Promises I've made

The question still prevails

Please take away the veil

About how you forgive

And still you live inside when I fail

I want to love them all

The way you do

I want to serve them

By serving you

I want to be like you

Jesus I do
