This is a battle for my heart, my soul, my mind
With suppressed truth and hardened heart, my purpose I betrayed
Through broken will and humbled heart, Loving God my soul refined …
No ear to hear, no heart to feel; I was cold, naked, blind
Enraptured in depravity’s grip; in death I’d been waylaid
This is a battle for my heart, my soul, my mind
My only god on display for all, my self-righteousness enshrined
No longer able to maintain this hopeless masquerade
Through broken will and humbled heart, Prince of Peace my soul refined
O foolish vainglory, rebellious pride my Creator I maligned
But greater than my sinful defiance, His grace would be displayed
This is a battle for my heart, my soul, my mind
So long ago on his holy hill ‘twas there true love defined
He bore my sin, His righteousness mine; hardly a fair trade
Through broken will and humbled heart, God, my Salvation my soul refined
A Savior come from heav’n above to redeem lost mankind
As the death knell rang on Calvary’s cross, God’s glory now displayed
This is a battle for my heart, my soul, my mind
Through broken will and humbled heart, Glorious Lord my soul refined
