Walking down the road this life is on
The narrow path I try to stay
But I must confess I have a tendency to stray
I'd love to call it a mistake
A momentary lapse of faith
But the truth is sometimes I feel like I'm being dragged away

By the other side that people never see
A war is on between the good and bad inside of me

Why do I do all the things that I do
When I want to do what is right
Change this wicked heart of mine
Let me walk with you in the new life

So what will ever put an end
To my recurring bout with sin
It seems I'm always at a loss for a way to win
When what I really need to do
Is to confront it with the truth
And let Your words of life sink in and make my mind brand new

A transformation that happens over time
Is the product of a renewed mind

Create in me a clean heart
Place Your spirit deep inside
Capture every thought
'Til there's no place left to hide

Why do I do all the things that I do
When I want to do what is right
Change my heart renew my mind
Let me walk with you in the new life
