Kick the Darkness

I'm fighting this battle again.

This battles in my head.

I fight against my sin,

but inside sometimes I feel dead.

There's only one place to begin

on this path down which I'm lead!

 

Here He comes again...

Giving me strength to win!

 

I'm getting up after giving it up to You!

You give me strength to fight!

I'm living now with my spirit made anew!

You're the one who gives me all of my might!

I'm not giving up this grace given by You!

I'll kick the darkness til it starts bleeding light!

 

I'm broken down again,

but I'm not giving in.

Even if it seems so grim

that my body breaks to sin. 

You stand beside me though I rarely win

this battle every night!

 

I see Him here again...

Crushing all of my sin!!!

 

I'm getting up after giving it up to You!

You give me strength to fight!

I'm living now with my spirit made anew!

You're the one who gives me all of my might!

I'm not giving up this grace given by You!

I'll kick the darkness til it starts bleeding light!

 

I gave it all away!

My soul is yours to keep!

Nothing left to say

as I climb back to my feet!

I've got to win the day

because quitting just ain't in me!

 

I'm getting up! I've given it up to You!

You gave me strength to fight!

I'm alive now with my spirit made anew!

You're the one who gives me all of my might!

I'm not giving up this grace given by You!

I'll kick the darkness til it starts bleeding light!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Thanks for this my friend. David Copus said to me one day, "Kick the darkness until it starts bleeding light!", and that's where this came from. Picture something by Five Finger Death Punch, sort of.
