The way I feel/ it must have been hard for Job 'cause I keep feeling like I lost myself/ I'm in a whirlwind of pain/ seeking real love/ looking to God above for all the answers I need/ and could it really be this bad/ or do I make it this way/ should I forget how I've been hurt/ and how my faith went astray/ so today I'll make a promise that I probably won't keep/ and pray to God/ 'cause what I sow I reap/ and it's unique/ let's see/ now I forgive you for the way that you cheat/ 'cause God stretched his arms out/ and I'm forever in love/ and above my depression lies the goodness within/ given by the grace of God/ that's how my soul looks in/ on a wire walking/ hoping that I won't slip off/ the air polluted as I try to clear my lungs with a cough/ my health fades and in time I want to know I had a purpose for this/ and it's insealed with a kiss/ it's God guidance I miss

Chorus: Riding the fence trying to balance myself/ between the spirit of God and sinful nature I host/ will I ever be the Christian that I should/ I've gotta pick up the slack and I know that I could/ I said I'm riding the fence trying to balance myself/ between the spirit of God and sinful nature I host/ will I ever be the Christian that I should/ I've gotta pick up the slack and I know that I could

These enemies they come around corners and try to reach in and change a valuable soul with temptation/ and I'm a sucker so I will fall/ and be the next to ask forgiveness in the principle's hall/ they line them up/ I fill my cup/ but do I know the meaning?/ I'm leaning on no/ and if so I'm not believing/ drown my sorrows in the river/ and wash away the pain/ let it cleanse you like a bird takes baths in the rain/ I'll make a change for the best and pray to God I succeed/ 'cause lately all my prayers have been about the things that I need/ plant a seed and watch it grow/ but you reap what you sow/ and there's only one road to go/ so which road should I take?/ lead me Lord/ don't let me make a mistake/ I try to do my best but still feel like I'm living fake/ I need to shake off the devil/ get back my time with you/ and begin to realize that this is what I must do/ I said I'm

Chorus: Riding the fence trying to balance myself/ between the spirit of God and sinful nature I host/ will I ever be the Christian that I should/ I've gotta pick up the slack and I know that I could/ I said I'm riding the fence trying to balance myself/ between the spirit of God and sinful nature I host/ will I ever be the Christian that I should/ I've gotta pick up the slack and I know that I could

These moments seems so long/ stuck in a dream I can't end/ and when it gets to hard to bare/ that's when my spirit seaps in/ awaken me/ set me free/ Lord won't you open my eyes/ I swear I'll never know it's real 'cause I'm still trapped in the lies/ becoming shallow like the rest that can't follow the path/ the time will come soon when they'll feel your great wrath/ what do I need?/ not in my wants I find the comfort inside/ I realize that I'm a sinner and in that I can't hide/ I abide by the truth but find it hard to believe/ that's why I pray that I am willing everyday to receive/ and I try so hard to comfort those who in need/ are searching to find love from the one that will bleed/ to save a beautiful soul/ a life that's out of control/ it's time you better take hold and step away from the tracks/ the train's still rolling even if you ain't on/ but you better be boarded if you want to be reborn/ No longer

Chorus: Riding the fence trying to balance myself/ between the spirit of God and sinful nature I host/ will I ever be the Christian that I should/ I've gotta pick up the slack and I know that I could/ I said I'm riding the fence trying to balance myself/ between the spirit of God and sinful nature I host/ will I ever be the Christian that I should/ I've gotta pick up the slack and I know that I could
