Struggling with strongholds,
Unmentionable strongholds, things I'm
Ashamed of.
Over and over,
Again and again.
Why can't I break free?

I ask myself,
Can God stop forgiving?
Seventy times seven, I'm afraid
My quota's up,
Long overdue.
Could I renew the contract?

Trials, temptations
Lurking, prowling,
Devil's bait. And I stumble,
Over and over,
Again and again.
Why can't I break free?

I fall,
Try my best not to but
Slip, trip, willingly
Into Satan's snare.
Gripped by delightable sin.
But guilt,
Grips harder

Forgive us our trepasses,
A prayer I pray,
Hypocritically,
Over and over,
Again and again.
Why can't I break free?

Repentance,
If only it were earnest.
God always forgives,
Men always sin.
A vicious cycle, over and over
Why can't men break free?

Thanks God,
For receiving the
Prodigal Son, me
Over and over,
Again and again
Though I don't break free.

God, empower me,
Help me to repent
Earnestly.
Persistence to finish the race,
And receive
The crown of Life

Eloi, Eloi
Don't forsake me
When I fall
Pick me up
Over and over,
Again and again,

Thank You
For being faithful,
With Christ's help,
I will break free.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
