Oh My Soul

If you’ve ever had this struggle, you should easily identify with this:

Oh my soul, that third of me that sometimes takes control.

Must we always be at odds?

Two parts mine, one part God’s?

Oh my soul, that part of me that makes me who I am.

Must you be my driving force?

One part better, two parts worse?

Oh my soul, that triune part that will not take a rest.

Must we always have this fight?

Two parts wrong, one part right?

Dear old soul, that part of me I cannot do without.

Might we this time pass the test?

One part struggle, two parts rest?

Esa Everroad, 1999
