Why Your Spirit Do I Grieve?

Why Your Spirit do I Grieve?

Abba, Father, hear my plea
As again I come on bended knee.
How precious Lord, You are to me,
Why then, Your Spirit do I grieve?

Why do I do wrong, when I want to do right?
Why can't I rest in the power of Your might?
Why do I turn left, when I know to turn right?
Why do my flesh and spirit have to constantly fight?

When in Your strength will I learn to stand,
Against the forces of evil that roams this land?
The powers of darkness can not withstand,
If only I'd learn to take hold of Your hand.

I ask Your forgiveness, for Your love not withstanding,
As I repent of the ways that meet not Your commanding.
Please help me to conquer the flesh so demanding,
And to lean not on my own understanding.

More of You Lord, and less of me,
Is what I desire, this is my plea.
To die to self and to live through Thee,
It's the only way to be truely free.

Father, Your grace I ask You to impart,
As I seek You Lord, with all of my heart.
For I know, this is the only place to start,
I come to You Lord, with a contrite heart.
