what I want to be and what I am

Had a great chat with some friends last night, pondering life as a Christian, and what it means to have the Holy Spirit inside you. And it made me think of these lyrics today…

Please allow me to introduce me:
Half of me slave, the other half free.
Righteous and sinful, both at the same time.
Iniquity and purity fill up the same mind.
And out of the same mouth, the holy and profane:
I curse all my brothers, then I bless Christ’s name.
I hang in the balance, but still I’m secure.
I’m leaning towards evil, but striving to be pure.

I stand between the saint and sinner,
Chasing after holiness,
Close enough to grasp,
But still it’s just beyond my reach…

Who I am is in between,
What I wanna be and what I am.

[In Between - The O.C. Supertones]
