Battles with Temptation
I'll toss aside my plea of innocence
Exposing my ugly pride
Maybe this has been about us both
But now here is my side
I know I have done plenty wrong
For this there is no reason
I've known how to behave and act
And yet it seems this season
I acted as though I knew not
What God's word said
And when temptation's door opened
I walked right through instead
I should have been strong and stood my ground
I shouldn't have been such a tease
I should have supported you
Rather than turning to uncharted seas
Embracing whatever came my way
Encouraging everything wrong
Yet deep down inside my heart
I knew better all along
And still I struggle to gain hold
Of what I'd rather give into
So what if we've gone that far before
I'd rather wait with you
Because I know to the other side
It will be all the more sweeter
Or so I have been told by those
Walking before me who are wiser
Of course I long for nothing more
Than to snuggle in your arms again
With all the emotions, desires fulfilled
Tho the utmost we'd suspend
But is it just one simple act
That we want to completely save
Shouldn't it be everything else
That makes us feel that way
And sure it might be hard to resist
Returning to play with fire
But imagine how much easier it will get
When we control that desire
Self-control is a fruit of the spirit
Lust is a work of the flesh
Let's face this battle together
Giving this our all, our best
