[Verse 1] The war is alive within my bones Two voices calling me their own One whispers soft, “Come feed your desire” One thunders truth with holy fire I know the path that leads to death I feel it drawing every breath My flesh is loud, it will not yield But I was not made to kneel to it [Pre-Chorus] Your eyes, O Yahweh, search my ways No hidden thought escapes Your gaze To fear You, Lord, is life and breath To turn from You is certain death [Chorus] Choose this day whom I will serve The flesh that takes, or You who deserve My life laid down, my will undone Your kingdom come, Your will be done Crucify what wars in me Nail it to the cursed tree If I live, let it be true— Not I, but Christ alive in me [Verse 2] The mind of flesh is death and war It hates Your law, rejects Your door It cannot bend, it will not bow So it must die, here and now No compromise, no divided throne You will not share what is Your own I cannot drink from both these cups One must fall and one rise up [Pre-Chorus] Teach my hands to wage this fight To love Your law, to hate the night The fear of You is clean and right A flame that burns, a guiding light [Chorus] Choose this day whom I will serve The flesh that lies, or You who are truth My cross I take, my self denied I follow You—let flesh be crucified Crucify what wars in me Every lust and vanity If I live, let it be proof— A life that trembles at Your truth [Bridge] Cut it off—whatever leads me to sin Tear it out—no matter the cost within Better to enter life through pain Than feast in hell with all I gain Your Spirit gives the strength to kill What once I loved, I hate it still Put to death these deeds of mine And raise me up by power divine [Breakdown] I am not my own I am not my own Bought with blood, a life dethroned I will serve the Lord alone [Final Chorus] Choose this day—there is no line Between the dark and the divine No double mind, no hidden way I stand and choose this very day Crucify what wars in me Till nothing’s left but purity If I live, let all men see— The fear of Yahweh lives in me [Outro] Life and death before my eyes No more delay, no compromise As for me, this choice is made— My flesh will die… my God obeyed
