TENTH AVENUE NORTH
"The Struggle"
(Mike Donehey / Ruben Juarez III / Jason Jamison / Jeff Owen / Brendon Shirley)

There's a wreckage, there's a fire
There's a weakness in my love
There's a hunger I can't control
Lord, I falter and I fall down
Then I hold on to chains You broke
When You came and saved my soul
Save my soul

[Chorus:]
Hallelujah
We are free to struggle
We're not struggling to be free
Your blood bought and makes us children
Children, drop your chains and sing

So, why, Lord, do I still fail
Do I wear thin?
Why do I still give in to temptation?
On my own, I am bankrupt
I don't trust You or take You at Your word
What You've promised, yeah

[Chorus:]
Hallelujah
We are free to struggle
We're not struggling to be free
Your blood bought and makes us children
Children, drop your chains and sing

[Bridge:]
Hallelujah, death is overcome
And we are breathing
Hallelujah, our stone hearts become
Flesh that's beating
Hallelujah, chains have been undone
And we are singing
Hallelujah, the fire has begun
Can you feel it?

[Chorus:]
Hallelujah
We are free to struggle
We're not struggling to be free
Your blood bought and makes us children
Children, drop your chains and sing
