I choose to love my Lord

My outward state has left me defeated;
With every trial yet further I fall.
It seems as if there’s been no progress made.
But in the midst of it all…

When I come face to face with temptations,
It seems that I still haven’t yet learned.
So powerless my strength is to resist.
All I can do then is turn…

But even then, the guilt comes to haunt me:
My body’s full of weakness and sin.
Yet His word says, “new heart” He’s given me.
So I by faith say within…

Although I’ve failed, I know He still loves me.
He’s gaining me each step of the way.
His heart of love towards me shall never change.
Oh, how my heart burns to say…
