(Verse 1 – The War Within) In the shadow of my will, the old man whispers low Pulling chains of yesterday, where selfish desires grow Flesh cries out for easy roads, for pleasure, pride, and gain But deep inside, a holy fire burns against the chain (Pre-Chorus – The Remnant Battle) It’s a war no eye can see, raging night and day Flesh against the Spirit, pulling me away Yet the cross has marked the end of what I used to be Seeds of victory are sown in me (Chorus – Seeds of Victory) Spirit rise, Spirit lead, crush the deeds I cannot kill By Your power, not my strength, let the old man’s voice be still I’ve been crucified with Christ, I live by grace alone In this remnant battle, our victory’s won Seeds of glory sown in blood, rising up to overcome Holy Spirit, have Your way — the flesh will bow, the flesh will fail (Verse 2 – The Struggle and the Hope) Temptation knocks at morning light, old habits call my name Anger, lust, or anxious fight — they feel like they’re the same But the Spirit gently tugs, reminding me of truth “You will not gratify the flesh when you walk in My way” (Bridge – Surrender’s Cry) Surrender is not giving up, it’s laying down my fight Opening these trembling hands to the One who holds the light It means “not my will but Yours,” every hour, every breath Dying daily to the “I” that leads only to death No more striving in my power, no more trusting in my plans Surrender says, “I’m fully Yours” — here I stand (Chorus – Seeds of Victory) Spirit rise, Spirit lead, crush the deeds I cannot kill By Your power, not my strength, let the old man’s voice be still I’ve been crucified with Christ, yet I live by grace alone In this remnant battle, victory’s already won Seeds of glory sown in blood, rising up to overcome Holy Spirit, have Your way — the flesh will bow, the flesh will run (Final Chorus / Outro – Triumph Sealed) We put to death the sins and failures by the Spirit’s mighty sword Not in my weak effort, but by leaning on the Lord Keep in step, walk by the Spirit, let His fruit increase Love and joy and peace and patience — is victory’s release The battle rages, yet I’m free — the war is won Spirit lead me … the remnant fights, but Christ in me!
