Liberta-Me de Mim

I don’t understand my own actions
Without Your grace, what would I be, God?

For the good I want to do, I don’t do
And the evil I don’t want, that’s what I end up doing
In my being, flesh and spirit are at war
In an endless battle to which I won’t surrender

For my body has been sold as a slave
And there’s no good in me, just sin
But I know that deep inside
I take pleasure in Your law, You are my beloved

So set me free from myself
I want to be Your home
If You’re here
I know I can overcome sin

So fill me with You
Until there’s no more space
For when I’m in Your presence
My life is transformed

For the good I want to do, I don’t do
And the evil I don’t want, that’s what I end up doing
In my being, flesh and spirit are at war
In an endless battle to which I won’t surrender

For my body has been sold as a slave
And there’s no good in me, just sin
But I know that deep inside
I take pleasure in Your law, You are my beloved

So set me free from myself
I want to be Your home
If You’re here
I know I can overcome sin

So fill me with You
Until there’s no more space
For when I’m in Your presence
My life is transformed

And I become
Free to live Your will
As I get to know You
My whole being fills with goodness
And the spirit reigns over the flesh

So set me free from myself
I want to be Your home
If You’re here
I know I can overcome sin

So fill me with You
Until there’s no more space
For when I’m in Your presence
My life is transformed

And I become
Free to live Your will
As I get to know You
My whole being fills with goodness
And the spirit reigns over the flesh
And the spirit reigns over the flesh
