The battle rages in my soul

I search for what will make me whole

I search high and low

For what will help me grow

Sometimes I cry

Without understanding why

The battle continues

While I sing the blues

One thing has become clear

A loving, merciful God is near

He holds me close

When I need it most

He fights with me

He shows me what can be

As the battle rages on

I give God praise before it’s gone

He stays by my side

My gratitude I can’t hide

The battle isn’t meant to be easy

I’ve learned to trust God completely

He offers protection

And plenty of love and affection

The battle has its place

I know I’ll finish my race

God works morning, noon and night

He helps me fight the good fight

So I’ll stay on course

Without an ounce of remorse

For I’m back in the saddle

And God will help me fight the battle
