A beast lurks within
as it prowls night and day
it ever seeks to get me in sin
As I struggle to keep it at bay
It has great power
And is ever so strong
My life, it would devour
If I ever gave into it for very long
Bleak and dark is my tale
For it would wrap around my neck like a rope
But in this I will not fail
Because in You, O' Lord, rests my hope
I am resolute in my stand
For I will not give up without a fight
And by Your Mighty Hand
I will overcome this darkest night
Wipe my hands clean
Wash me of this evil desire
In your light I want to be seen
Indwelled by your Holy Fire.
