I feel it every morning
As I rise
Sometimes without warning
And sometimes in disguise
It never leaves me feeling
Like I've had enough
It's my sin with which I'm dealing
It knows just how to bluff
Full of pride and self
You know, I'm needing Someone else

To help me fight back
Jesus, help me fight back
Fight back
Defeat it, help me fight back

It makes me live alone
I'd break this iron fence through
But I ache until I've grown
Although I face this failure
Although I often lose
I'll depend upon the Savior
His mercy I will choose

To help me fight back
Jesus, help me fight back
Fight back
Defeat it, help me fight back

Full of pride and self
I'm needing Someone else
