I know my pride has gotten in the way
It holds me back from day to day
It’s stolen so so much from me
I feel as though it’s ruined me
I’ve tried to walk my separate path
But instead I found God’s wrath
I tried and tried, but fell each time
Trying to walk the same ole line
Why can’t I do this by myself
Why must I seek another
My soul is fighting with these thoughts
I don’t know if I’ll recover
I struggle with this every hour
As my faith searches for the power
To overcome this mount of pride
That my heart has built inside
I long for an end to this stupid war
This just isn’t something I can ignore
It overflows my very being
My whole inside is disagreeing
Why can’t I do this by myself
Why must I seek another
My soul is fighting with these thoughts
I don’t know if I’ll recover
The siege of pride, bitterness, and fear
Has taken away all I hold dear
I’m locked away up in this tower
And by myself I lack the power
To burst through all of my opposition
The only way out is through submission
But then again my pride steps in
And there begins a fight again.
Why can’t I do this by myself
Why must I seek another
My soul is fighting with these thoughts
I don’t know if I’ll recover
I cry aloud to the King of kings
To whom my weary soul clings
I ask for victory over this war
My heart is aching and my body is sore
He reminds me that the victory is mine
Just simply obey and all will be fine
But to obey the command to go seek another
Is the very thing my pride tries to smother.
Why can’t I do this by myself
Why must I seek another
My soul is fighting with these thoughts
I don’t know if I’ll recover
I’m not just hurting my own heart
But others who need me to start
To lift up their souls and see
How they can encourage me
I am done with this stupid fight
I have decided to do what’s right
I will take a stand and obey my King
For His is the only song that I sing
I cannot do this by myself
I must go seek another
My soul has defeated prideful thoughts
And His salvation I rediscovered.
I know my pride has gotten in the way
And I’ll need your help to do what I say
I need to do, by sharing with you
I know that this is all overdue
I will open up about what’s with me
But I don’t expect it to be easy
All I ask is that you’ll pray
For my pride to stay way
