As I struggle on in this old world,
a new truth has been unfurled.

The struggle is not a necessity,
Jesus is there to make it easier for me.

I know it is impossible for me to do it alone,
with God all things are possible I've been shown.

Jesus already has won the victory,
and is anxious to do the same with me.

It is by His strength I will find success,
I need only accept it in willingness.

I must submit myself to Him,
then the new work He can at once begin.

I must daily surrender my own will,
so He can go on working and changing me still.

The work will not stop till the end of time,
and nothing guarantees life will be sublime.

But that's OK because all will work to my good,
as long as I submit as I know I should.

There were quick and easy pleasures like drugs and alcohol,
and my peers with their pressures were sure to call.

The frustrations I faced day by day,
and expressing conflicting emotions bothered me in a big way.

But excepting love was a most difficult part,
so Lord help me to accept You into my heart.

I know You supply the faith to believe,
and I need more faith so I may receive.

So I may accept all that You offer to me,
simply due to the love You feel internally.

Teach me to accept what You so lovingly give,
so I may forever in heaven live.

Teach me so I may share what You've given to me,
so others too Your love will see.
