VERSE 1
I hate the way I know the truth,
but still choose the longest road.
I see the light You put inside me,
but I hide it from my soul.
You gave me wisdom like a compass,
but my heart keeps dragging me astray—
I know the man I’m meant to be…
yet I keep slipping the other way.
PRE-CHORUS
And it hurts that I can see so clearly
what’s right, what’s wrong, what’s real—
but my veins are weak with worry,
and my bones forget to heal.
CHORUS
So God… give me the strength I keep praying for.
The courage to stop walking in circles on this floor.
I know the life You wrote for me
is better than the one I’m choosing—
but help me, Lord…
‘cause knowing isn’t winning,
and wanting isn’t doing.

VERSE 2
I hate the way I let the wrong ones in,
and keep the right ones far from me.
The people who lift my spirit
are the ones I rarely see.
You gave me eyes to know the difference,
but my heart keeps chasing noise—
I trade diamonds for distractions,
and wonder why I lose my joy.
PRE-CHORUS
And I fear one day You’ll ask me
why I buried all You gave—
why I lived like I was dying
when You taught me how to save.
CHORUS
So God… give me the strength I keep praying for.
The boldness to stop losing battles I ignore.
I know the life You dreamed for me
is waiting if I just choose it—
but help me, Lord…
‘cause knowing isn’t changing,
and wanting isn’t doing.
---
BRIDGE (soft, trembling)
I’m tired of disappointing heaven,
tired of breaking my own heart.
You built a king inside of me
and I keep tearing him apart.
I know every mountain You could move—
but You’re asking me to climb…
So take these weak and shaking hands,
and make tomorrow God’s… not mine.
---
FINAL CHORUS
Oh God… give me the strength I keep praying for.
The will to walk through every open door.
I know the future You prepared
is worth the pain of growing—
so hold me, Lord…
‘cause knowing isn’t living,
and wanting isn’t doing.
Please… give me the strength.
