Temptations
I feel you pushing me ahead,
Seemed like just yesterday that I was almost dead,
But now you've brought me in this place,
A place where I continually seek your face,
But in this time I find myself Afraid,
Afraid that this time will slowly fade,
I can feel the temptations beeting at my heart,
Please don't let this sin come in and rip us apart,
I can not do this on my own,
So I put my trust in you alone,
O Lord please help me to fall down and cry,
Before I give this sin just one more try,
You are faithful, and will always provide away out.
