War of sin

I have commented on Shane and Shane before, but this post is going to be dedicated to one of their new songs. I have said before that they base their songs straight from Scripture.

This song is based on Philippians 3:7-8 “But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ…”

Please read the lines of this song and see how you can relate to these words.

WAGING WAR

It haunts me so
This gloomy weight
That comes and goes
Without a trace
A thousand times my flesh embrace
A thousand more but if for grace

To see the Lord the promise land
‘Where in all sins pearly gates look bland
And what was once a pearl now sand
That blows away in light of Him

When battle lines become unclear
And the waging war is all I hear
Lord, sustain me with Your voice
And the choice to walk in truth

That I might see this day
This waging war might go away
and be no more
That I might see His face
And hear Him say
Son welcome home
The war is over

To see the Lord, the promise land
‘Where in all sins pearly gates look bland
And what was once a pearl now sand
That blows away
That blows away
That blows away in light of Him
Oh go away
Go away
Go away in light of Him
Blow away, o waging war of sin

Our God is SO amazing. To think that He would forgive us when He knew that we would mess up over and over and over again with the SAME sin. It seems that we would learn our lesson, but He is so patient with us.
