I was caught in the allure
I was destructive then
But now, I've dealt with my sin
In my bowel, there's still a war
But my God, "help me endure"
You're a challenge to me, its true
You're worth that chance-see how I do
I'm making stepping stones of tripping blocks
I'm committed to what I was not
I know rejection will come
But if I don't stand in the gap
You won't be won
And the focus is now, you
