Passion for God Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Resist, When Tempted

Keep God’s Word, in our heart
Cry out to God, and resist
Resolve, I will obey
The Holy Spirit, will assist.

Let my cry come
Before You, O LORD
Give me understanding
According to Your Word.

For I rejoice at Your word
As one finding, great treasure.
I hate, and abhor lying
But love Your law, my greatest pleasure.

LORD, look and consider
My affliction, and deliver me
For I do not forget
Your law, set me free.

All Your commands are true
Concerning Your testimonies
I have known, of old
You have founded them, forever.

Trouble and anguish, found me
Yet Your commands, are my delight
Everlasting, Your righteous testimonies
Bring understanding, and revive.

Your testimonies are wonderful
Therefore, my soul keeps them
The opening of Your Word
Giving light to all, amen!

Therefore, I esteem
All Your precepts, I praise
And consider as right
While I hate, all false ways.

My flesh trembles, fears You
And am afraid of Your judgments
I stand in awe, of Your laws
Your justice, Your regulations.

Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path
I have sworn and confirmed
To keep Your judgments, escape wrath.
