(Verse 1)
Good morning, Abba, another day
But the enemy knows my name
New mercies, yeah, they might be new
But the sinful nature, it pulls me through
He knows the cost was paid by the Son
But isolation is how the fight is won
I hate the sight, I hate the taste
This fallen world, this time I waste
The thoughts they linger, they feed the flame
Giving the flesh an old, familiar game
(Chorus)
My battle's not the blood and bone
Against the spirits, I walk alone
I gotta take captive every lie
Before the lure takes me alive
You cast the hook, I took the bait
Fighting a war to seal my fate
The flesh resists, the spirit speaks
But the strength I need is what I seek
Stand firm, resist, don't let me slip away!
(Verse 2)
You said the world is not my home
But I'm over-invested, I'm thrown
Down by the things that will fade to dust
In every distraction, there is a lust
A simple dose, a single choice
It weakens the will, it steals my voice
The sin power, a chain I see
Connect the dots, it falls to me
The fisherman's lure is back today
He's casting frequently to make me pay
(Chorus)
My battle's not the blood and bone
Against the spirits, I walk alone
I gotta take captive every lie
Before the lure takes me alive
You cast the hook, I took the bait
Fighting a war to seal my fate
The flesh resists, the spirit speaks
But the strength I need is what I seek
Stand firm, resist, don't let me slip away!
(Bridge)
I plead for my family, they’re checked out, Lord
For my children’s path, I'm heartbroken, poured
Out on the floor, in fear and doubt
Tear down the walls, let the truth break out
It's time to lead, no more passive role
Put on the armor, regain control
Of every thought, of every step
The enemy's terrified of the ground I've kept
(Guitar Solo - building intensity)
(Chorus)
My battle's not the blood and bone
Against the spirits, I walk alone
I gotta take captive every lie
Before the lure takes me alive
You cast the hook, I took the bait
Fighting a war to seal my fate
The flesh resists, the spirit speaks
But the strength I need is what I seek
Stand firm, resist, don't let me slip away!
(Outro)
Don't let me slip away...
Take captive...
Stand firm...
(Fade out with heavy guitar riff)
