the dilemma

Sandi Patty

I suffer from a bad affliction
Seems my lifeââ?¬â?¢s a contradiction
Two lives war inside of me
And though I want the spirit to win
Seems the strongman gets his way

Chorus 1
I donââ?¬â?¢t do what I know is true
I do what I donââ?¬â?¢t wanna do
But I do it, oh yes, I do it

I start my life the same each day
Praying for a better way
Made up in my mind Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna
Carry out the good that I desire
But it seldom works out right

Chorus 2
I donââ?¬â?¢t do what I know is true
I do what I donââ?¬â?¢t wanna do
But I do it, oh yes, I do it
I know that life is choices
Chances all day long
Seems my right just
Always turns out wrong

Some are deeds of ignorance
Sometimes disobedience
But does it make much difference
When itââ?¬â?¢s all rebellion in my heart
Can I ever make it right

Chorus 2

Who can rescue me from
All that Iââ?¬â?¢ve become
Thanks to heaven itââ?¬â?¢s already done

I donââ?¬â?¢t have to be the way Iââ?¬â?¢ve been
A victim to this fix Iââ?¬â?¢m in
I know that I could really change
And stop running in these circles all my life
Will I ever make it right

Chorus 1 (twice)
