Rebellious Heart

rebellious heart

torn apart

twisted in pieces

over my Jesus

I can't control the madness

or the sadness

burning, churning

deep within; my sins

have overtaken me

I can't see

where to go, or how to get out

my voice attempts a shout,

but frustration boils out

tempted to hide

I can't confide in anyone

I want to run

but my feet won't retreat

I can feel the seal

of the Holy Ghost on my soul

fighting with God only digs a deeper hole

I want to get away

but I also want to stay

I need His help,

but my flesh yelps

for the darkness of the world

my mind is twirled

in a delusion

of confusion

and the refusing of God's commands

I fear His reprimands

I can't rebel, I can't obey

I'm dizzy with dissarray

my heart grows bitter

I'm beginning to wither

no one else sees the battle

within;

I'm rattled in rebellion.

Lord, I need Your light

but I might

cower in a cave

I need someone to save

me from the folly of my pride

my flesh and soul collide.

I have a rebellious heart

and it's tearing me apart

the fog

has bogged me down

I feel like I'm starting to drown

I'm suffocating

by this excruciating

dilemma

I'm tripping, I'm slipping

I'm sensing the enemy's dart

I feel so estranged,

Lord, change my rebellious heart.
