in a cloak of defeat
but i know i have a victory
in this death of me
i can grieve the loss of something
i once held up as an idol
but i know that truth be told
You Lord are what i desire
why do i fight so hard
trying to get both ways
clinging to the things i want
reaching for the riches i have in Christ
oh my Lord You know
this heart grieves over
all i lose in gaining You
oh my Lord You know
this heart rejoices in
all that You are to me
i can try to hide my surrender
in a cloak of defeat
but i know i have a victory
in this death of me
fear springs up like weeds
masking sin like needs
why is it so easy
in making it hard
oh my Lord
this is why You bring me here
wrestling with myself
wrestling with You
yet i know the victory
i have in You
