(Verse 1) Woke up this morning, same old fight The war inside me rages on through the night What I wanna do, I just don’t do And the things I hate, they pull me through Oh Lord, I’m weary, my heart is torn Feels like I’ve been losin’ since the day I was born (Chorus) But You said, “Hold on, child, I’ve paid the cost My blood is stronger than the battles you’ve lost” So I keep runnin’, though I stumble and fall Jesus, You’re my only hope, You’re my all in all (Verse 2) Every step forward, I take two back This heavy burden’s breakin’ my back I wanna be free, I wanna stand tall But this wretched man still answers the call Oh Lord, I cry out, who can rescue me? From this body of death, won’t You set me free? (Chorus) But You said, “Hold on, child, I’ve paid the cost My blood is stronger than the battles you’ve lost” So I keep runnin’, though I stumble and fall Jesus, You’re my only hope, You’re my all in all [Rap Breakdown] [Beat Drop, Rhythmic Flow, Percussive Acoustic Strumming] Look, it’s Romans 7 living in the modern flesh— Tryna do what’s righteous, but I’m seeing my own mess. There’s a law in my mind, but a law in my limbs, Feeling all the weight of these persistent sins. I wanna walk in the Spirit, but the shadow resists, Fighting through the battle in the mid-day mist. "Wretched man that I am!"—that’s the desperate cry, Who’s gonna lift this death from before my eyes? [Dynamic Build, Triumphant Rap Flow] Then comes Romans 8 with the light breaking in: No condemnation for the ones who are His! Not saved by my striving, not kept by my deeds, Satisfied by grace, it’s the Savior who bleeds. Substitutionary price—He absorbed all the wrath, Nailed my guilt to the cross, cleared a holy path. So I ain’t fighting for victory, I fight from the throne, The Spirit inside me says I’m never alone. Though the flesh wages war, the decree has been signed: My debt is paid, my life hidden in the Divine! (Bridge) I see the cross standin’ tall through the night A beacon of mercy, a promise of light Though my strength is gone, I’ll lift my eyes To the One who reigns beyond the skies (Chorus) You said, “Hold on, child, I’ve paid the cost My blood is stronger than the battles you’ve lost” So I keep runnin’, though I stumble and fall Jesus, You’re my only hope, You’re my all in all (Outro) So I’ll fight this fight till the race is done Not by my strength, but by the Risen Son Through every struggle, through every storm I’ll rest in the grace that keeps me strong
