Cheque Mate

The battlefield of the mind
That’s where you'll often find me
Wrestling with the thoughts and feelings
Spawning the words and deeds
Sometimes spiraling beyond my controlling

I am just a pawn in the natural life
Just the middleman, engaged in a mental fight
The game really has nothing at all to do with me
It's played in a realm that is difficult to understand
A war waged on a field of battle
that I can't even see

But God is the master, and He is in complete control
Every move that I plan to make, He already knows
I'm just a broken piece of pottery
Living a natural life in a spiritual war
And the only way that I can claim the victory
Is to remind myself daily...
That this battle is not mine; it's the Lord's
