Lord knows I try but to no avail I fail
Then all thats left for me is to sit in defeat at his feet
and beg for mercy or relief
See if I could just get a running start then maybe I'd get
on a roll and never stop or lose control
I know its not in vain and there is a greater gain
Thank you for the inspiration to take on and seize the day
not sit in despair and hide my face
This is your race and with you in my corner I am determined
no destined to win this tough battle over sin
The power is in the tongue so I spoke it and now I know it
all thats left is for me to grab hold of and never release
cuz his trick is your feeling of defeat
I feel my strenghth of you coming back to me now thank you
my Lord and at your feet willing I bow
I will make no haste to finish this race cuz what I now
realize is it is at your pace
