Here we go again
When the waves come crashing on the house of mine
Lies inside
Fueled by fear and being fanned by pride
I cannot deny.
So full of me, an empty hole
Promoting thoughts of turning back
So sick of me, oh so sick of me.
I just can't go back, no I can't turn back
Hard to see how truth can break me free
Do I chose injustice or chose his nail scarred feet
Oh the battle of my aching soul
I realize now I'm my own worst enemy
When will I decrease?
Come reign oh prince of peace
Your love remains as the seasons change
This is my true heart cry
As I scream to the sky
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live,
But Christ lives in me.
The life I now live in the body,
I live by faith of the Son of God,
Who loved me and gave himself for me.
Take me by the hand
Pull me out of this darkness
Bring me to your ways
Teach me how to rid this hate
I am but a man
Who lives inside of his own head
Imprisoned by his memories
I am my own worst enemy
Now I see how truth will set me free
Why I choose injustice
When all I see is you in me
Clear the smoke screens that blind my heart
Take me to his nature something I can not do
When will I decrease?
Come reign oh prince of peace
Your love remains as the seasons change
Use this valley of death for my own good!
"I sank down to the very roots of the mountains.
I was imprisoned in the Earth,
Whose gate lock shut forever.
But you, Oh Lord my God, snatched me from the jaws of death."
When will I decrease?
Come reign oh prince of peace.
