Jacob Nash - Inclined to Sin [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
God, I'm getting sick of this. I can’t do anything good
I’m getting really pissed. I just wish that I could
Do something worthwhile, with this life of mine
Help me through this trial. Please give me a sign
To show me that you care. I know you actually do
Prove to me you're there, cause right now, I need you
I want my life to end. That's right. I want to die
Then I could ascend and be with you in the sky
This situation’s bad. I don’t know what I can do
I’ve started getting mad, even mad at you
I tried praying. It didn’t seem to help
I’m not making this up. I really need your help
I'm sick of all of this crap. I’m feeling terrible
I just want to take a nap to make this bearable
Maybe I’ll wake up anew and everything will be ok
Then I’ll be right with you. I won’t be gone astray

[Hook]
I'm inclined to sin, because I'm rotten within
I'm always giving in to every little temptation
Where's God in this, I think I've been forsaken
But if I'm going to be honest, it's me who's forgotten him
I'm inclined to sin, because I'm rotten within
I'm always giving in to every little temptation
Where's God in this, I think I've been forsaken
But if I'm going to be honest, it's me who's forgotten him

[Verse 2]
God I’m drifting. I’m falling in a pit
My ways have been shifting. I’m nearly throwing a fit
I’m consumed in sin. I am so far from you
I'm not a good person. I'm bad and I hate it too
I pray that you’d save me from my struggles and stress
Please lead me to safety, safely out of this mess
I can’t make it on my own accord. I need assistance
Please don’t leave me ignored. Acknowledge my existence
Once I let down my guard, I end up deep in regret
This life is so hard. Overwhelming as the national dept
This life has nothing to offer. It’s all in vain
I want something lasting forever, something I can truly gain
I’m surrendering all. I’ve given up this life
I want to follow your call and give you all of this strife
When I’ve given it to you, it's all good again
So, I bid my old life adieu. In Jesus‘ name, amen

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
The devil comes to tempt, he won't give up the attack
He’s always making attempts to bring me back
To when he had me enslaved, back before I gave you control
Before through you I was saved, before you made me whole
But you always provide a way out. You're always reliable
You’ve left no doubt. Your presence is undeniable
You save me time and time again. Your might's unmatched
The devil comes, but then I turn to you and your power’s dispatched
From your presence he flees and then he stays away
He knows that he can’t compete with your power anyway
So in you I’ll put my trust. You're where I'll put my hope
I’ll turn from sin in disgust. It's a struggle, but I know you'll help me cope
Then you will hold my dear. Your love doesn't need to be won
You'll fill my heart with cheer and treat me as your precious son
I want to be with you forever. I don’t want to stray again
Don't let our relationship sever. In Jesus’ name, amen

[Hook]

[Verse 4]
God you’ve been so good to me. You never let me down
This I can clearly see. I’m better off with you around
You’re there when I'm feeling blue. You calm me down when I’m upset
You bring me back when I go askew. Don’t ever let me forget
How great you are and all that you have done
You far exceed sub par. You cannot be outdone
You’re completely flawless. You can’t make a mistake
You don’t have any drawbacks and you’ll never forsake
Me when I need you most. You’re always close by
You never say “adios.” You don’t even need to say “hi,”
Because you’ve always been there and you’re always near
So I have no reason to be scared. I have no reason to fear
I can just trust in you and you'll be faithful to me
I'll be faithful to you too. I'll keep close to you; I won't flee
You're always loyal to me, so help me be loyal to you
Because I can clearly see that I'm better off walking with you

[Hook]

Amen
