Like a fish on the line fighting so as not to be caught

So is this fight of mine for that inner peace I sought

So desperately fighting to get away to be on my own

Not having learned even to this day yet being grown

In all that tossing about, a gentle tug pulling me back

As on and on goes the bout, I begin to see where I lack

But I continue to resist and use every bit of my resolve

I may have chosen to enlist yet a heart can often revolve 

Soon my will begins to drain as He gently draws me near

So much resistance all in vain becomes much more clear

Laying there so helpless He draws me next to His Side

In that I have caused all this mess in acting upon pride

In taking me into His Hand He is but gentle and so kind

I soon began to understand as all those tangles unwind

But this I didn't see for this Fisherman had a special Way

For then He set me free to go about and live another day
