When the body is dead

Open The Gate
Sing me
A lullaby
Sweet blessings
On a one-way ride
Im a broken man
With nowhere to hide
How can I make it
To the other side
Searching my soul
Have to find a way
Two paths to take
No time to play
Eternity
Is the death of me
But my soul lives on
Where will it be
Restless sleep
Another night
I struggle with
Temptations fight
Im a man of God
Saved by grace
Only to struggle
With Satans tastes
I want to grasp
The golden ring
So many things try
To stand in my way
My faith is strong
But Im only a man
At times I am
Fierce in my convictions
Yet at other times
I am so weak and tested
One life
Make it right
It all matters
When the body is dead
One choice
To win the fight
Makes a difference
When the body is dead
Shower me
With your light
Protect me
From the devils plight
Im a man of conscience
Ripped by vice
Curb my desires
Lest I pay the price
I need your strength
Help me find a way
To do whats right
Dont want to pay
Sincerity
Lives and breathes in me
I only want
What you want from me
Comfort me
In every way
As I battle
From day to day
Im a man of honor
Gripped by pride
A man of faith
With a human side
I know what is right
Yet at times I do wrong
Not out of shear want
But out of weakness
Why must I be faced
With such allure
The struggles are fleeting
But my choices last forever
Only one thing
Can save me from myself
One life
Make it right
It all matters
When the body is dead
One choice
To win the fight
Makes a difference
When the body is dead
