i'm back in these chains like last time when You found me,

'can't believe myself when i know You set me free.

thought You wouldn't see me here the next time around;

i tried to stand, i tried to fight, to hold my ground.

but following You is easier said than done,

when i fail and i fall a thousand times and one,

when all i want is to stay on the ground and rest

yet You still ask me to give You my very best.

i'm tired of this, trying to win this life-long race;

i'm tired of this flesh that craves the darkness' embrace.

i find myself walking down a familiar trail

away from You, to a seemingly feel-good tale.

and following You is easier said than done

especially when there's no more desire to run,

when the world lures my heart with what i long for,

and i forget the fact that You could give me more.

and i can't help but ask what made You not give up,

what gave You strength to carry that cross to the top,

when all the hearts You came to save choose to hate You,

to love You and praise You, and once more betray You?

'cause following You is easier said than done;

can't understand why You haven't left me and gone.

i've disobeyed You more than i wanted to know;

still You remain true and refuse to let me go.

yet where else can i go but at Your feet again,

where else, when life without You is but a dead end?

i'm sorry i'm like this; i wish to carry on

though following You is easier said than done.
