The Anguish - © 2004 - Steve Atwood

     I've changed this one around a little - verses in parenthesis are ones I've removed for now.  It's a song, not a poem, so it may read kinda rough - - I'm working on recording this one now.

Lord I hear You calling
Like I heard You yesterday
Oh, I feel so fallen
I've led myself astray

Oh Lord, please hear this calling
from this humble heart, I pray
Help me crucify this flesh of mine
again today

Take away all the heartaches
The sorrow and the pain
I'm hurting more than I can take
I've just myself to blame

So Lord please hear this calling
from this broken heart, I pray
And help me crucify this flesh of mine
again today

Oh, Oh God
Oh, Oh God
Oh, Oh God
Help me do Your Blessed Will
Not listen to the voice in me
that says I never will
Cause I'm afraid,
 Lazy,
 Lust - filled,
 and maybe crazy

Only flesh
And you're so perfect
How can you stand me?
Yet You love me
Still I'm afraid...

(Such mercy that you've shown me Lord)
(But I still let You down)
(The Spirit tries to lead me)
(And the flesh tries to keep it down)

(A Lost world surrounding me)
(Yet I won't make a sound)
(Lord, Help me pick up this heavy cross)
(And put the world back down)

Surrounded by a hate filled world
I know that they don't see
But I find I don't say your Words
For fear they'll turn on me

I hate this fear inside of me
So this I humbly pray
Help me crucify this flesh of mine
again today

I see the old ones in the nursing homes
forgotten and afraid
Babies dying every day
yet I don't do a thing

Help me Lord, to do your will
To face them unafraid
And help me crucify this flesh of mine
again today.

Oh, Oh God
Oh, Oh God
Oh, Oh God
I will do Your Blessed Will
And listen to the part of me
that says I'm Spirit filled
And not alone,
 But Strong,
 And with Your Love,
 I'll carry on

Only flesh
And you're so perfect
Yet You love me
Your Son showed me
With His Blood

His Holy Blood

Lord I hear You calling
I answer You today...
