Battle With Self
It's a daily battle against my own will.
To truly sacrifice what I want and feel.
Fighting resentment I harbor deep within.
Really I know in my heart this is a sin.
Yet for me to deny myself, cuts too deep.
In my heart, myself I really want to keep.
I struggle daily with this selfish pride.
I am unwilling to let myself be denied.
To deny self, take up cross, follow Jesus!
Christ the perfect example who died for us.
True sacrifice I know means self must die.
Jesus humbled Himself for me, why can't I?
