There are a great many songs and hymns that talk about redemption, the Holy Spirit, and the struggle with sin. However, few of them are really based on the words of our text. Here are a few I found. Some I have included primarily for the lyrics, others are quite singable. Doubtless you'll know of others. Tunes and words to most out-of-copyright hymns can be found at CyberHymnal.org. Tunes and words for many newer songs and choruses can be found using CCLI.com's SongSelect service.
