My Soul The Prize

What am I doing? I know this is wrong
At this time yesterday I thought I was strong
Hang on child no need to run
Don't listen to him, you're missing all the fun
My life is too short, I don't want to miss all the fun
Haven't I taught you better He only lies to kill
Why do you even try? The mask you wear is a lie

Fine I fall there's always tomorrow
It's all a lie anyway I'll drown my sorrow
That's right you miserable wretch. Dance in the fire
A little bit more will fulfill your desire
What are you doing? Come home please

I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me
Why do I do the things I hate
Lean on me. I know this life is hard
That may be fine for others, but you are far too scarred
Is a little pleasure too much to ask for a heart that knows so much pain
I carried my cross, you must do the same
One more won't hurt. You are not the one to blame

Here I am, the same boat again. Repenting of the same sin
I rose to free from sin. Why won't you let me in
Why don't you take some time alone and think about this some more
Maybe a little more time would be good, after all Rome wasn't built in a day
Now is the appointed time. Today is the day of salvation
Think of all you'll lose. It is worth damnation

I fall on my knees. I run home to you
It's something I've done before, but something I shouldn't do
Come home son! I open my arms to you. I love you so much I even died for you
I leave now, but I'll be back. When your soul sleeps I'm on the attack

All this time my soul the prize, two warriors fought
They fought for my life
Voices inside my head I thought they were mine
Subtle hints a battle was raging on inside
Those on their knees pleading to the king on my behalf won the victory
How could I have been so blind?
Jesus Christ, name above all names, no other saves
My salvation, my strength, my song
