Timothy Brindle
The Temptation
[Verse 1]
Tim's facing temptation
Sin's waiting I'm getting impatient
Its 11:20 and desires are raging raw
Inside this fire it's waging war
Lust is calling
I feel myself getting closer to porn's clutch and falling
Then I'll be stuck indulging
To this wicked and gross sin, but no I trust He's sovereign
Father I know that you're able to rescue
Save me from this then I'll praise You and bless You
But then my flesh it fights back it's wretched like that
It won't settle until it gets its trife snack
It want to be appeased my thoughts are being teased
It won't stop so I'm dropping on my knees
My actions froze
I know I need to pray but the passion grows
Stronger, it craves for satisfaction
And it seems it's strength is fastly grasping
Its hold on me and it's only a matter of time until I'm snatched in trapped in
In my sinful desires- I'm hating
I'm sick of resisting and tired of fighting
I feel locked in like those in prison
Without your help now I know I'll give in
Now I'm longing to sin dude
But my only hope is the Father's promise to cling to
How can this passion and urge
Be zapped and then purged?
So I dive and I grab for His word
Next to me- when I open my bible to this text I see
God's promise to rescue me
Psalm 50:15- so I cry it out to the Lord with this big scream
You said, 'Call upon me in the day of trouble
I will deliver you and you shall glorify Me.'
So Lord You say if I call on your name
Then You'll deliver me from falling in shame
I want to glorify You before Your eyes too
So please help me adore and prize You
Because I know sin is so destructive
Give me strength by Your Spirit because I was almost sucked in
But I trust Your faithful promises
Your name's to great I won't dishonor it
And sin's deceiving but Your word displays this
Nothing compares to Your worth and greatness
And while I wait on You Lord with my face to the floor
As I pray I start craving You more
Because the sweetness of Your love's more hot to me
Than the fleeting pleasures of pornography
And I know that only You Adonai
Can keep my souls appetite satisfied
But Romans 6 must be read again
To remind me that I'm dead to sin
Yo truly I believe this
At the cross my old sinful self was crucified with Jesus
And with Him I'm resurrected too
So my bodily members I present to You
And verse 14 says that sin shall not be master over me
So I know I'm free
But forgive me for even entertaining to notion
To open up sins potency- so I turn to Romans 3
To see a love abundantly how Your blood it covers me
So all praise to the Trinity
For deliverance from sin He gave me this victory
From the shame of iniquity
Now all praise to the Trinity
Who gave me this victory
Yo all praise to the trinity
For His word, strength, and sufficiency- He gave me this victory
