The Dilemma - Sandi Patty

I suffer from a bad affliction

Seems my life’s a contradiction

Two lives war inside of me

And though I want the spirit to win

Seems the strong man gets his way

I don’t do what I know is true

I do what I don’t wanna do

But I do it, oh, yes, I do it

I start my life the same each day

Praying for a better way

Made up in my mind I’m gonna

Carry out the good that I desire

But it seldom works out right

I don’t do what I know is true

I do what I don’t wanna do

But I do it, oh, yes, I do it

I know that life is choices

Chances all day long

Seems my right just always turns out wrong

Some are deeds of ignorance

Sometimes disobedience

But does it make much difference

When it’s all rebellion in my heart

Can I ever make it right

I don’t do what I know is true

I do what I don’t wanna do

But I do it, oh, yes, I do it

I know that life is choices

Chances all day long

Seems my right just always turns out wrong

Who can rescue me from all that I’ve become

Thanks to Heaven, it’s already done

I don’t have to be the way I’ve been

A victim to this fix I’m in

I know that I could really change

And stop running in these circles all my life

Will I ever make it right

I don’t do what I know is true

I do what I don’t wanna do

But I do it, oh, yes, I do it

I don’t do what I know is true

I do what I don’t wanna do

But I do it, oh, yes, I do it

I do it
