Roberto & Danny - Save Me from Myself Lyrics

I know there's one thing you examine: the intention of the heart
But Lord how good is that when I can't even get past the start
You know I got some good intentions, some I fail to carry out
It's like there's something else inside me, tearing up your living house (me)
Lord I try, but at times efforts ain't enough
For what I desire not to do is really hard to stop
You know me. Or is my narrative mistelling
Self control on patrol, but the villains is indwelling
I never blame the devil, I know he's already guilty
No need to ease my mind to peace when thoughts are pretty filthy
Please help me overcome without being so self-righteous
Spirit lead me to the Son cause I want to be just like Him
Father, here's where I am getting at, this is my real question
If I desire to be just like Christ, why am I still wrestling
With myself, what I must put on the shelf and what I must bring out to light
The new life that I have in Christ
But it seems like there are some things that my nature won't let me shake off
I'm ready and set but lately flaking during takeoff
It's offending Three plus me when my tendency be
To repent and repeat, sheesh
I know the enemy lied when he told Eve the truth
I know the only Way is Christ and His life is the proof
I know He paid for my crimes when He hung on the cruz
And resurrected. So why are sin and me still connected. Been elected

Father I've been wrestling for a long time
But I chose you in my youth and that's the truth
I'm just a wretched man living out my life
Only you can save me from myself
Father I've been wrestling for a long time
But I chose you in my youth and that's the truth
I'm just a wretched man living out my life
Only you can save me from myself

Okay let me confess to the world that I'm a sinner
Replacing carne with carnal for dinner
My flesh is like, get'em, my heart is like, no
My mind's like, Go Rob, go Rob, go
It's like I'm going crazy, maybe not, but maybe
I'm starting to drift away and my faith is getting lazy
Maybe I've been wrestling for far too long
Got myself in a choke hold, Man, I'm strong"
But I belong to you (God) to bear fruit like a growing tree
Can only flourish if your Spirit truly dwells in me
For I know that nothing good dwells me
Wretched man, in this body of death, stretching my wretched hand
Who will deliver me? Thanks be to the G-O-D
Through Jesus Christ our Lord whom with my mind I serve
But with my flesh I serve the law of sin
Set my mind on the Spirit, let my spirit be in peace, I need your peace within

Father I've been wrestling for a long time
But I chose you in my youth and that's the truth
I'm just a wretched man living out my life
Only you can save me from myself
Father I've been wrestling for a long time
But I chose you in my youth and that's the truth
I'm just a wretched man living out my life
Only you can save me from myself

My life, my life, my life
My life, my life, my life is yours
My life, my life, my life
Lord, is all yours
Help me understand
I just don't get it
I know you have a plan
But am I in it
I believe, I believe
I believe, in your victory
In Calvary. So would you please
Save me from myself
