There is a battlefield within my soul
A deadly poison biting at my bones
Invisible force keeps driving me
The thorn in my side won't let me be
A burden I must bear till my dying day
Oh, how I wish I would not feel this way
A struggle of mind, conflicting passions
Longing to find the source of peace and serenity
Free me and redeem me
So I plead rescue me
From this body of death
Wretched man that I am in my sin
Intervene and wash me clean
From this stain that no one knows
And no one sees
I'm begging You, please
I'm on my knees
The war inside me rages on and on
This journey I must take on all alone
The new creation I'm supposed to be
A blatant contradiction in my being
So I plead rescue me
From this body of death
Wretched man that I am in my sin
Intervene and set me free
From this pain that no one knows
And no one feels
I'm begging You, please
Flesh and the spirit
Two laws inside of me
But who the Son gives freedom
Shall be free indeed
So if I stumble
Will I keep serving sin
No
So I plead rescue me
From this body of death
Wretched man that I am in my sin
Intervene and set me free
From this pain that no one knows
And no one feels
I'm begging You, please
I'm on my knees
Shelter me and comfort me
Let your love and mercy be enough for me
If it be your will
