Who will Set Me Free? Lyrics

I don't understand what I do
For what I want to I don't do
But what I hate I do
I have desire to do what is good
But I can't carry it out.
For what I do is not the good I want
But the evil I hate, this I keep on doing.

For in my inner being
I delight in God's law
But I see another law in me
Waging war against my mind
...and making me a prisoner of sin

What a wretched man I am!

Who will rescue me
from this body
of death?
Only He gives me freedom
Only He gives me strength
Only He gives me life
Makes my darkness fade away

He is the way!
