Di-Battle – Benny Wanjohi

I can feel
I don’t do what I want
Fighting
I do what I don’t want

I can feel
The depth of my spirit
Fighting
For what is pure and fit

I can feel
My flesh in rising fires
Fighting
For precarious desires

I can feel
This di-sided battle
Fighting
Within, trying to settle

I can feel
My lips talk to heaven
Fighting
A shame deeply hidden

I can feel
Jesus’ grace in a fresh flow
Fighting
To save me from my flaws
