1st verse
Believe me when I tell you this/ the world is wicked there’s no telling what they’ll do next/ But I don’t even have to focus on the evil without/ I got enough reasonable doubt within me to send me to the chair that’s clear if I stare looking at a crooked cat in the mirror/ who me?/ truly/ the enemy is the inner me nothing but me in the vicinity squared/ that’s two isn’t it?/ I don’t know how to configure it or what digit to hit to make the equation equivalent/ all I know is there’s a war going on and my sinful nature seems to be the source of it all/ if I could get rid of it I’d be further along and I wouldn’t be standing here singing the words of this song/ and it goes/ what I don’t want to do/ I do/ I pursue what I shouldn’t if I could I sue/ who?/ this other me loves me to the death and would literally die just to satisfy my flesh/ it takes every breath and blessing that God gives just to use it as a weapon against Him/ takes every good and perfect gift that comes from above and perverts it like love gets changed for lust/ it’s dangerous like taking gusts of angel dust when God displays disgust cause we reject His ways even though His ways are just/ I’m stuck with a old nature that’s corrupt and plus incapable of pleasing God/ believe I tried and succeeded not but then Jesus died and rose again/ He clothes us in a new nature so the old one won’t win/ now I’m opposing sin and natural whims but that’s when this battle begins
Chorus
There’s a war going on/ sure you’re right/ sure you’re wrong/ who said that?/ you/ dead that you’re strong but God is stronger/ Lord help me conquer this monster/ The Incredible Walk
2nd verse
If you look from the outside in through skin you’ll meet the me that was born in sin but/ if you go from the inside out/ you’ll meet the new me born again about ten years ago/ ten years to grow and here we go in stereo/ got/ two inputs right and left asking are you down for life or death/ check/ this new me is truly weird it trusts God where I used to be scared and I’m like/ what’s that all about walking out faith when I thought I had a cause to doubt/ I’m telling yall it’s a trip/ now I’m getting equipped to rep the God of the biblical scriptures/ motivated by a visual clip of the life of Christ and the Cross is the pivotal picture/ like an old film digitally fixed up the image is so vivid digits register on the Richter/ so now even if it takes a while I’m only trying to see what’s gonna make God smile/ in contrast to the me of times past quick and illegitimate willing to commit a crime fast/ now I serve the Lord with zeal and stay sobered up and soldiered up cause the war is real/ not fighting with a sword of steal but slicing with a spiritual sword that sure to peel/ soul from spirit and flesh from bone and I roll with the Spirit never/ left alone plus/ my click is more consistent than the metronome when it comes to letting Christ set the tone/ so daily my sinful side is outlined in legible chalk letting my new insides outside it’s The Incredible Walk
