God wrestles with the devil in my heart,
and I’m there too, alas, the referee;
God bets on me, but I must do my part,
I choose who wins; for this, God made me free.
God battles with the devil for my soul,
the combat is as bloody as can be;
God’s mighty, but, alas, I’m in control,
I do decide at last my destiny.
God struggles in my conscience, just we two,
we’re face to face, there’s no place I can flee;
He’s on my side, but I choose what to do,
though He wars fierce, the outcome’s up to me.
Lord, though You’re strong, my freedom’s stronger yet,
for I must finally fight to win the bet.
