Losing Ground

Losing Ground
Words & Music by Chris Teague

Let me tell you ’bout this lusting
See, it’s been what I’ve been
putting all of my trust in
Tell me why
Have I been giving in to this sin
That I know I should not be in
Yet I’m still dependent on
and I feel guilty
for wondering why you built me
But I no longer have a passion for the fashion
of rationalizing all the guilt and shame inside me
Decided to put it behind me now

I am fighting every man’s battle
and I’m tired of it always hanging around
Yeah, yeah
I am fighting every man’s battle
and I’m tired of always losing around
Losing ground
Ground, ground

Oooh, here it comes again
You see this habit I’ve formed
is keeping me torn
and the warnings were present but I was incessant
on the very thing that was keeping me down
This temptation is my frutration
my source of liberation comes from the only one
who brings me my salvation now
But its hard to keep the purity
with all these lies encircling me
See the media’s exposing these people with their clothes
Insinuation, fornication, this nation’s run out of patience

I am fighting every man’s battle
and I’m tired of it always hanging around
Yeah, yeah
I am fighting every man’s battle
and I’m tired of always losing around
Losing ground

And maybe all this generation needs is a little conversation
’cause if we talk then there’s nothing left to hide
and we can stop the lies
Turn on the lights
and end this shame in Jesus’ name

I am fighting every man’s battle
and I’m tired of it always hanging around
And I am fighting every man’s battle
and I’m tired of always losing around
Losing ground
