A struggle with selfish pride - trying to realize the freedom already won through being identified in His death and resurrection...Pauline theology we don't seem to address in Sunday School.

Story behind the song
This song was not written, it was written down. Obviously most of the lyrics are Scripture, the rest inspired by Scripture. Willie would pretty much would hear bits of the music played in his head when he took showers...he wrote down what he remembered.
Lyrics
Sunny day
Enemies nowhere in sight
But peace is far removed
A battle rages inside
This time the enemy is me
Deja vu
I've seen this sorry place ten million times before
Forgiven Prodigal
Leaving home on wayward journeys
What am I looking for?
Who am I following?
Why do I do the things I do?
I do the things I hate to
I do the things I hate to do
Crucify myself with Christ
Identify me in His death
Be merciless to selfish pride
'Til none remains but His life
In the scheme of eternity
I am dust; to dust I return
Yet I boldly stand
And say what I want matters the most
I don't really want it
Who do I think I am?
Turn my eyes from inside
To see your Kingdom come
I live as a sacrifice
Your will be done
Transform me
Conform me to You
