Feelings of temptation
Overtake my mind,
Yet strength in Christ, my savior,
I shall daily find.
My weaknesses exposed
To the enemy;
I’m reminded of my Savior
In Gethsemane.
“Not mine own, but thy will be done”
The humble prayer did plead.
Just the same, and more for me,
His will is what I need.
Alone in stand I quickly fall
For my flesh is weak,
So, with my Lord and Savior,
Fellowship I seek.
At the cross of Calvary,
The victory of Love
Was obtained and granted me
By the grace of God above.
The victory still sweeter
Was found on Sunday morn,
For victory over the grave allowed
The dead to be reborn.
So when I face temptation,
This will be my plea
“Get the hence from me, Satan,
Christ Jesus hath made me free!”
