Romans 7:15-25
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do
not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want
to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer
I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that
nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I
have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it
out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil
I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I
do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin
living in me that does it.

So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is
right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in
God's law; but I see another law at work in the members
of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and
making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my
members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue
me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through
Jesus Christ our Lord!

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but
in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

SAVIOR
Romans 7:15-25

Well, it seems to me
I ought to be a little bit closer to You.
By now, I ought to be walking right beside You.
But every step I take is like
just one step further away.
What will it take to make me stand?

Why do I do the things I do?
Why do I say what I don’t mean?
I don’t understand my own behavior.
I guess I’ve known it all along.
I wonder where my thoughts went wrong.
When will I get it through my head?
I still need a Savior.

You keep teaching me lessons I’m supposed to learn,
but every time, I’m right back where I began.
I fall into the same old trap. Will I ever get it right?
I need Someone else to fight this fight.

What a wretched man I’ve become.
Somebody save me from myself.
I’ve wasted all that time with everything I’ve tried.
Jesus, bring me back to where I belong.
