Two Forces
I find myself between two forces,

Being pulled in two different,

Opposite directions.

Which way do I go, which path do I take?

My flesh says this way, my spirit says no.

One leads to death, the other to life.

Must take these thoughts captive,

Or find myself hostage.

I find myself between two forces,

Being pulled in two different,

Opposite directions.

One leads to freedom, the other to bondage.

My courage is failing, the fear is assailing!

My spirit is willing, this flesh is weak.

One seems wrong, the other right.

Could I have this backwards?

I find myself between two forces,

Being pulled in two different,

Opposite directions.

Do I stand here firm, or do I run?

My spirit says stand and fight,

My flesh says run…Take flight!

Where do I go to find the answers?

Who do I trust, who do I turn to?

I find myself between two forces,

Being pulled in two different,

Opposite directions.

They say He is the Way,

He is the Truth, and

He is the Life,

Could He

Be the answer?

I find myself between two forces,

Being pulled in two different,

Opposite directions.

It’s not about me?

Not by my power or might,

But what He does for me,

And what He does through me?

Could that be the answer?

I find myself between two forces,

Being pulled in two different,

Opposite directions.

If the battle is His, then my fight is over,

The battle is won, the victory sure!

He shows me the Way, I follow.

He reveals the Truth, I listen.

Now my Life is secure!

I am no longer

Being pulled in two different,

Opposite directions.
