Sin So Much | Spirit and I

The Story

Wanting what is right and still doing what you hate is not a small glitch — it is the war Paul names in Romans 7. You cannot simply decide yourself clean, and pretending otherwise only breeds hiding or self-righteousness. In reality, true freedom is not the freedom to do whatever we want - it is freedom from destructive sin. This song came from that agony: knowing God, still rebelling, and realizing not every corner of life had been surrendered to Jesus. Humility means asking Him for help. Righteousness is only in Christ, who died for sinners — submit, turn from your sin, and let Him do the work self-fix never can.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I smiled too fast, I changed the facts Got two-ton prayers in my pocket like cash I say I’m fine, then bite my tongue Even my own name feels borrowed and wrung I bolt every door, but the secrets slip A little white lie with a busted lip [Chorus] I sin so much, I don’t know truth God, help me now, bring me to You I run so hard, I lost my way God, help me now, teach me to obey [Verse 2] I dress it up in a holy suit Say that’s just how I am when I know it ain’t true I blame my fear, I blame the room But the mirror don’t flinch, it knows what I do I keep the doors locked, still I let it slip A little white lie with a busted lip [Chorus] I sin so much, I don’t know truth God, help me now, bring me to You I run so hard, I lost my way God, help me now, teach me to obey [Bridge] If I open my hands, will You still be right here? If I say the hard part, will Jesus stay near? I’m tired of the spin, tired of the show I want one true word, I want it to grow [Chorus] I sin so much, wash me anew God, help me now, bring me to You I run so hard, I lost my way God, help me now, teach me to obey [Outro] Teach me to obey Make me true
