Though it holds us as long as we breathe, bound to its chains we cannot be freed
But when we die for Christ we belong to bear fruit for God where we now stand strong
Who will rescue me from this war inside
The battle between the heart and mind
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ
He delivers me from sin's dark tide
Sin came alive when the law was known
What I should do I failed to show
I want the good but sin still reigns
The struggle within drives me insane
Who will rescue me from this war inside
The battle between the heart and mind
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ
He delivers me from sin's dark tide
Sin's dark tide
Sin's dark tide
The law is holy, righteous and true
But sin took a chance and I was fooled
In my soul I delight in God's way
Yet sin fights on night and day
Who will rescue me from this war inside
The battle between the heart and mind
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ
He delivers me from sin's dark tide
What a wretched man I am in this strife
Who will save me from this body of death and life
But in my mind I serve His law
In Christ alone I find my all
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ
He delivers me from sin's dark tide
He delivers me from sin's dark tide
He delivers me from sin's dark tide
He delivers me from sin's dark tide
