"The War I'm In" lyrics

I said to self
Self don't be selfish
That's the root behind the word that lives for self
I said to self
Self don't be reckless
Cause If you are you'll always be by yourself

Myself is ruthless
If I let it rule myself
It'll ruin my life
Myself is truthless
All that matters to itself
Is its own lies

I don't need a graven image
Or an idol made of stone
When I can worship my own image
When I just can't let me go

That's the war I'm in
I'm fighting my own skin
I wanna do what's right
But still I crave what's mine
Jesus help me
It's so hard
To simply lay down my life
And that's the war
Oh that's the war
The war I'm in

I said to self
Self don't be faithless
Cause someday we'll need to trust somebody else
I said to self
It's time to confess
That I don't think that I can keep living for myself

Myself is weakness
Dressed up to make you think
He's got some strength
Myself's a sequence
Of having to fix all of the problems
That it makes

I don't need a graven image
Or an idol made of stone
When I can worship my own image
When I just can't let me go

That's the war I'm in
I'm fighting my own will
I wanna do what's right
But still I crave what's mine
Jesus help me
It's so hard
To simply lay down my life
And that's the war
Oh that's the war
The war I'm in

So take this flesh
And these skin and bones
God I surrender myself
And I'm givin' up control

That's the war I'm in
I'm fighting my own skin
I wanna do what's right
But still I crave what's mine
Jesus help me
It's so hard
To simply lay down my life
And that's the war
Oh that's the war
The war I'm in
Oh that's the war
Oh that's the war
The war I'm in
