I struggle everyday with my mind, trying to clear it

To me there’s good and the bad

Every day I struggle with Flesh and Spirit

Wondering about things I wish I had

I struggle everyday with the choices I make

Fighting to make a turn or keep right

I struggle everyday with walking straight

And to me, this is a big fight

I struggle everyday with holding my head up

Or walking with it down

I struggle everyday with trying to smile

Or whether to just frown

I struggle everyday with trying to love

And not turning to hate

I struggle everyday with the choices

That I need to make

I struggle everyday with wanting material things

And trying to obtain them so fast

I struggle everyday with the choices this world brings

Although these things won’t last

I struggle everyday with striving;

To do the will of God and trusting him

I struggle everyday with all my might

To do and be pleasing in his sight
