VERSE ONE
The battle lines have now been drawn
It’s a showdown for the ages
And it’s a fight we’ve fought before
Yet still the struggle rages

We’re both contending for control
Holding onto competing wills
Though we both know whose way is right
Your headstrong child resists you still

I need to throw the towel in before you let me win

CHORUS
Got to go down without a fight cause I’m in a war I must not win
Between the good You’ve got for me and my stubborn hold on sin
Weary of wrestling with You, God, when I know that you are right
Help me this time, Lord, to go down without a fight

VERSE TWO
We’ve been boxing for a while
And now it’s the decision time
Do I take these red gloves off
Do I go Your way or mine?

Long past the point where I should know
That I can trust You when You say
I’m a winner when I lose my life
A loser when I get my way

I need to throw the towel in before you let me win

CHORUS
Got to go down without a fight cause I’m in a war I must not win
Between the good You’ve got for me and my stubborn hold on sin
Weary of wrestling with You, God, when I know that you are right
Help me this time, Lord, to go down without a fight

BRIDGE
Father, force me to surrender
Before this goes much further
This match is taking too much of a cost

Come be the champion of my life
You earned it when you won the fight
The only one that needed to be fought

The only blood that needed to be spilled
Is at the place where I must kneel
On my knees at the foot of Your cross

CHORUS
Got to go down without a fight cause I’m in a war I must not win
Between the good You’ve got for me and my stubborn hold on sin
Weary of wrestling with You, God, when I know that you are right
Help me this time, Lord, to go down without a fight
