Now let me share with you a divine mystery
So very complex like the Holy Trinity
I am declared a saint while still being a sinner
Like being a loser but still declared the winner
With Christ living in me, I have the power to choose
Yet when attempting to do good I sometimes loose
It seems like I’m constantly living out both extremes
Having an outflow from within of two different streams
My schizophrenic tongue is either blessing or cursing
Like polarizing opposites are conversing
I am either uplifting someone or tearing them down
I am either making someone smile or making them frown
I am either being a life-giver or a gravedigger
Or either being a problem solver or making them bigger
Praying Jesus name or using His name as a cuss word
Both coming from the same Chrisitan I know that's absurd
Either I am becoming more and more like Jesus on a Sunday
Or I am becoming more and more like the devil on Monday
Either I am striving to bring my Heavenly Father glory
Or stealing His glory by writing my own story
It's like Heaven and Hell are both inside of me
Fighting a brutal war till one wins the victory
And I have to wonder when I will be finally free
From this unrelenting hell that lies deep within me
Now let me share another divine mystery
Teaching about it almost sounds like heresy
Jesus’s atoning blood has paid it all completely
And because I'm His there is no condemnation for me
Confessing to Him that I gave in to the sin in me
I am always amazed how he forgives me quickly
In your demand for justice please don’t get mad at me
Instead, take it up with God if this makes you real angry
It's like Heaven and Hell are both inside of me
Fighting a brutal war till one wins the victory
Now I'm looking forward someday to the sure guarantee
That I will be rid of this hell that lies deep within me
By,
Jeff Dalton
