"The Struggle" by Tenth Avenue North

Tenth avenue is a band that knows Spiritual Warfare.  I struggled for years and kept telling myself, "I gotta try harder!  Why do I keep doing what I don't want to do and why am I not doing what I want to do!?"  Does that sound familiar?  If not in your own head, it was exactly the thoughts of the Apostle Paul in Romans 7.  After a closer reading of that passage, I learned that the sin struggle was directly linked to SIN, who was in my FLESH and committing the sin.  Now that I know the source of the sin struggle, it can be targeted at the root.  Enjoy.

"The Struggle" Lyrics

There's a wreckage, there's a fire 

There's a weakness in my love 

There's a hunger I can't control Lord, 

I falter and I fall down 

Then I hold on to chains You broke 

When You came and saved my soul. 

Save my soul

Hallelujah We are free to struggle 

We're not struggling to be free 

Your blood bought 

and makes us children Children, 

drop your chains and sing

So, why, Lord, do I still fail, 

Do I wear thin? 

Why do I still give in to temptation? 

On my own, I am bankrupt, 

I don't trust You or take 

You at Your word 

What You've promised, yeah.

Hallelujah We are free to struggle 

We're not struggling to be free 

Your blood bought and makes us children 

Children, drop your chains and sing

Hallelujah, Death is overcome 

and we are breathing Hallelujah, 

Our stone hearts become flesh that's beating 

Hallelujah, Chains have been undone and we are singing 

Hallelujah, The fire has begun. Can you feel it?

Hallelujah, Death is overcome and we are breathing 

Hallelujah, Our stone hearts become flesh that's beating 

Hallelujah, Chains have been undone and we are singing 

Hallelujah, The fire has begun. Oh, can you feel it?

Hallelujah We are free to struggle 

We're not struggling to be free 

Your blood bought and makes us children 

Children, drop your chains and sing (Ooh's)
