THE THINGS WE DON'T WANT TO DO

Temptations come from every corner,
But in God, grace is abundant.
The things we don't want to do,
Calling out for us to do.

Easy to get caught in the web of life,
Struggling with things that seem alive—
Things from which we hide ourselves,
But we seem to find nonetheless!

We said we fell the last time,
Promised to do better next time—
We've sworn our lives to God,
His abundant love a raging flood!

The demons keep calling from time to time,
But we can't defeat them without God;
Sometimes we find ourselves to fall,
But we find strength again from his love!

Found myself falling to darkness,
My help was in living up to God—
Knowing that I made some mistakes,
I was able to conquer at the third!

Who we are can lead us astray,
Our personality driving us away—
Curiosity eating away our resolve,
But in God, our darkness dissolves!

So, when you find yourself in the wrong situation,
Kick yourself and try again—
Yes, you have your standards to live up to,
But God's standard will never change!
