Jekyll & Hyde

by Bob Hartman

Based on Rom. 7:15

I have a secret that

I let nobody see

An evil shadow that's been hanging over me

My alter ego that

I try to hold at bay

But despite my good intentions he can always get away

He does the things that

I don't want to do

Sometimes

I feel like

Jekyll and

Hyde Two men are fighting a war inside

I have this secret that

I let nobody see

It's like a split personality

And the one

I feed is the one who lives

The one I starve will be the one who gives

He won't do things that

I know I should do

Sometimes

I feel like

Jekyll and

Hyde Two men are fighting a war inside

One gives, one takes,

I have to decide

Sometimes

I feel like

Jekyll and

Hyde I need somebody to rescue me

When personalities clash

I know which person

I want to be

With no defiance

Just God-reliance
