Fix Myself

David Phelps' song 'Fix Myself' is a candid confession of human weakness and the struggle to obey God. The lyrics describe a cycle of knowing what is right but doing the opposite, expressing frustration with self-reliance. The repeated plea 'Lord have mercy' underscores the need for divine grace rather than self-improvement. The song acknowledges that true change comes from God, not personal effort. It resonates with the biblical theme of Romans 7, where Paul describes the battle between flesh and spirit.

David Phelps - Fix Myself


You say go and I stand my ground 

You say fly and I fall down 

You set me loose and I stay bound 

I'm spinning 'round and 'round and 'round 


You say swim and I nearly drown 

You say rest and I paint the town 

You say hold on and I come unwound 

Spinning 'round and 'round and 'round 


I know what to do 

But I do the wrong thing 

But I'm not alone 

Hear the choir sing


I can't fix myself fix myself 

Fix myself fix myself 

I can't fix myself fix myself 

Lord have mercy 


You say have faith and I'm full of doubt 

You say go in and I'm stepping out 

You say feast and I go without 

Spinning 'round and 'round and 'round 


You say stay and I drop out 

You say don't speak and I wanna shout 

You say trust and I say what's this about 

'Round and 'round and 'round 


I know what to do 

But I do the wrong thing 

But I'm not alone 

Hear the choir sing


I can't fix myself fix myself 

Fix myself fix myself 

I can't fix myself fix myself 

Lord have mercy 


I know I know I know I'm flawed 

Have mercy on my soul dear God 


I know what to do 

But I do the wrong thing 

But I'm not alone 

Hear the choir sing


I can't fix myself fix myself 

Fix myself fix myself 

I can't fix myself fix myself 

Lord have mercy
