Stuck


Stuck in this web of earthly delights
Searching and seeking a way to be free.
I know there's a door, a message, a hope,
But I've been here so long I forget how to see.

Shattered and torn between what's right and what's wrong
Pulled and pressed to make some sort of amends.
I speak the words, but can't seem to be so strong
As to turn my back on something I've known for so long.

Why can't I stop? Why can't I be free?
Free from this pain and sin that's plaguing me?
I try and I pray and I rebuke it once more,
But all to no avail as I fall like before.

Jesus, I try. I do want to stop.
But nothing is working. Am I doing it wrong?
Is there a step that I'm missing in my journey for purity?
Or is it that I'm just not that strong

I need to be free. I need a way out.
I know that you're there, right there to guide me.
How do I do it? What needs to be done?
Please, Lord, show me, so I can be free...

Free...
Free.

Please, Jesus, help me, so I can be free.
