Shades of Gray

When will we break?
And break away...
from all these things that beat us up
and tear us down?

When will we learn
from past mistakes?
it seems we can't move forward
or backward
forever stalemate

I've made mistakes
and it's more than a few
and I keep my finding myself here again
struggling to get out of this sin
why does it seem to always win?
what we need is to rely on Him

Pray for grace
and try to repent
and His mercy overflows,
and we feel good again,
then fall right back in
so what does it matter anyway?
We're stuck in the middle with shades of gray
Give me the strength to put this away
I'm tired of giving in

Help overcome my selfish desires
one by one, extinguish these fires
mold me as your pot of clay
please Lord, give light and color to my shades of gray.
