Fallen Fun

My soul will not go down without a fight,
our fallen world attracts me, You do too,
I’m pulled to fallen fun, then to Your light,
my conscience says, no better one than You.

Knowing what’s right’s not always what I feel,
sometimes the fallen world just feels more fun,
my reason speaks up, “Yeah, but what’s more real?”
My faithfulness tells me that You’re the One.

If I fight for my soul, why not for theirs?
It’s in the fight I win, not in the score,
the phony way the world scores, so who cares?
It’s where I want to live forevermore.

It takes great faith to see eternity,
forgoing the fallen fun’s a fight for me.
