Overcoming Temptation

And so, love not the world
Nor selfishness, greed
Seek God’s glory alone
Let His Spirit, always lead.

The LORD gives, and He takes
He rules, as He will
He is sovereign, all powerful
So be quiet, and still.

By His stripes, we are healed
Jesus’ death, on the Cross
Now delivered from judgment
He paid the full cost.

For what are you grasping
And groping in life
Is it riches and comfort
Success, without strife?

Thro’ His Spirit, God gives
In His people, are sown
Differing talents and gifts
That His glory, be known.

So, one thing most needed
Amidst our busyness, each day
To surrender, keep calling
Asking LORD, show the way.

Control and compel me
Conform me to Christ
Consume all the dross
His blood has sufficed.

May Your glory come down
That multitudes may see
LORD God, open eyes
Let more captives go free.

Our nation is filled
Churches lukewarm, some dead
Claiming they’re Christian
But God’s Spirit has fled.

Lord, I enter Your gates
And come into Your courts
With thanksgiving and praise
To worship You, I have sought.
