I'm forgetting what's behind I'm pressing to the goal
Had to cut some people off I chose a better road
I gotta stay

Verse 1
I admit that I'm a sinner whose in need of change
Temptation every where I go I seek the first escape
Still struggle with some things so I call on Jesus name
If I try to hide my sins, they'll just helped me stay the same (Not a game)
I'm a sinner He the savior (yea)
We are perfect for each other (we are)
I don't have it all together (I don't)
I need the Lord to make me better (I do)
I wasted time against the grain (I did)
Still he love me with the pain
But I can call em Lord and never make a change then wonder why my lifestyle still the same
Changing is painful but not more than staying where you know that you shouldn't stay
Cause a lot times what we try to hold on to is really holding us in a cage
If It never glorify the Father
Then the purpose behind it in vain
But if I die for Christ sake
What awaits me is something that no one can take
I submit to God the devil gotta flee
Without the Lord I cannot do a thing
So I'm only seeking for that good news
The Word of God is my refuge
A good tree bears good fruit
Bad fruit makes no use
Every thing ain't what it seem to be everyone speaking is not gonna speak truth

Verse 2
My foes acting like they friends, no I do not trust you
Gotta test that Spirit cause so many undercover
Casting down all fear, distractions, and discouragement
If I don't I may lose self control and take'em in (I repent)
Lord help me not retreat
Give me the strength that I need
They spread a net for my feet
When It's enough for all of us to eat
Gotta watch out for my enemies
They tryna get in my head like I'm Kennedy
But I'm too focused on Daniel and Timothy
All of the Bible is food to me spiritually
I use to think that running to my sin could eventually take away all the pain
The further that I run away from the Lord, the more I see myself deteriorate
He the vine I'm the branch if I part away
Wouldn't make it on my own he the only way
If my treasure lay where this world lay
When He comes back they gone both fade
To the dead He Give life
I was dead now I'm revived
All by the power of God
I got a peace in my mind
No one could take if they tried
Condemnation is a lie
I'm forgetting what's behind
I Got my eyes on the prize
