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
