oh God protect me from myself 

my fearful, weary soul 

it wants to hold on 

when all i want is to let go 



oh God protect me from myself 

my hand and wandering heart 

it speeds toward the wrong 

when all i want to do is start 

not to do that anymore 

i don't want to do that anymore 



change my heart oh God 

from the sinful state it's in 

to the state you want it in 

i want to please you 

change my heart oh God 



how do i escape from sin 

my old self loves to do it 

what a terrible predicament 

i find myself in 

i find myself in sin 

i want out of this sin i'm in 



to please Him is to know Him 

to know Him is to see 

that obedience to law is not 

what keeps us whole and free 

is not a thing indeed 

it is the body of a saviour, 

Jesus Christ the king 



I am realizing that the answer lies insight 

if in fact I have accepted Jesus in my life 

it all comes down, the choice is now 

the issue of control 

have I chosen God 

or would I rather be the one 

controlling the destiny of the mind...CHANGE! 

do i do what i do or don't do what i want to do? 

do i do what i do or don't do what i want to do?
