A sinner's prayer

How long Lord,
how long will i continue to wallow in sin,
this sin just like mud making me slip and fall
the slightest thought, the slightest wish, the slightest desire.
My spirit desires you lord but my flesh says nay,
the things of this world so enticing,
stoke the flames of my fleshly desires,
my flesh longs for them but my spirit says nay.
There's a war within me,
my flesh and spirit constantly fighting for the destination of my soul.
I am weary lord, tired of this strife,
I am tired lord of praying and hoping that your grace would be sufficient for me,
I am tired of breaking your heart each time i fall,
I am tired of wanting things i shouldn't want.
Lord all i want is you,
I want to spend my everyday with you,
I want to stop asking for your grace lord,
I want to stand in the gap lord on behalf of your people,
like abraham, like moses, david like elijah did in the days of old.
Here my cry Lord, hear my heart Lord, hear the desires of my spirit.
Just a touch from you changed Moses, changed Gideon,
turned them from zero to hero.
Lord i want to stand untainted in my time,
like daniel, like elijah, like Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego.
There are millions who would give their all to you for half of what i have,
a tenth of what i have,
there are people out there who are dying just because they love you.
My heart is heavy lord, my spirit is weary, i need your touch lord.
