My Worst Enemy

I stand before the mirror
Looking at the man
His eyes are accusing
Is this really who I am?

A product of experience
And how I handled them
While the memories unbidden
Come calling me again

My worst enemy tells me I'm good for nothing
He points out the ways that I failed
He shows me the reasons I suffer
And all the times fear has prevailed
So I pray to God that he will set me free
For I know that my worst enemy is me

I close my eyes in sorrow
Splash some water on my face
And wish that someone else would be
Standing in this place

But my wishes are ungranted
There's no genie to appear
And banish all my demons
There is only one man here

I can't do this by myself
Lord Jesus rescue me
Save me from the guilt inside
And my insecurity

Give me strength to carry on
And faith to face the day
Knowing that you'll always be
Beside me all the way

My worst enemy isn't good for nothing
His points are doomed to fail
There is no reason to suffer
My God will always prevail
For my savior came to set me free
My worst enemy has no power over me
