1. Overcoming Temptation
A whisper soft, a tempting scene
A flash of want, a guilty dream
My head's a war, a raging fire
Temptation calls, a deep desire
A heavy weight, upon my chest
This inner fight, won't let me rest
But I remember, I made a choice
To listen to that gentle voice
I want the life God wants for me
Can’t give in now, must let it be
Won't let the thought defeat me now
I've changed, renewed a sacred vow
A faithful heart, a steadfast mind
His love’s divine; forever kind
I'm gonna rise, I won’t give in
I won’t get tricked back into sin
The enemy whispers, lies so sweet
He tries to reach us when we’re weak
He’s tempting me and hopes I’ll break
But what he offers I must not take
My soul is bruised, my heart is sore
But I choose God’s way even more
Yes I remember, I made a choice
To listen to that gentle voice
I want the life God wants for me
Can’t give in now, must let it be
Won't let the thought defeat me now
I've changed, renewed a sacred vow
A faithful heart, a steadfast mind
His love’s divine; forever kind
I'm gonna rise, I won’t give in
I won’t get tricked back into sin
He's my friend, He is my guide
I know the Lord is on my side
His love's a shield, a calming light
He conquers darkness, sets things right
Won't let the thought defeat me now
I've changed, renewed a sacred vow
A faithful heart, a steadfast mind
His love’s divine; forever kind
I'm gonna rise, I won’t give in
I won’t get tricked back into sin
