Sin finds opportunity deep in the commandments

to fully deceive ... and that’s a simple fact.

I know the law is spiritual ... almost beyond my grasp.

I am just carnal ... draped in sin at best.

What I will to do, I do not practice ... what I hate I always seem to do.

So when I do what I will not ... I must agree that the law is good

and it is no longer I who does ... it but sin that thrives within me.

It is in me where the difference is ... and that must be understood.

I know in my flesh dwells no good ... although the will is present with me.

but to perform what is good ... I do not find within me.

The strength of God the answer ... to my predicament

Through Jesus Christ, The Savior ... Who wills to live through me.
