Forbidden Fruit

Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.

Overwhelmed, on our own
We feel helpless, and lost
So set our mind, believe God’s Word
There is victory, through the cross.

Not to dwell, on sin and failure
Rather focus, on the LORD
See beyond, my upset feelings
Trusting God, see blessings poured.

So, live not for this world
That will soon pass away
But, for our calling, eternal
To trust God, and obey.

Ask God change your view
Give thanksgiving each day
Let His Spirit control
Let Him teach you to pray.

Though we know not the day
Nor hour He will come
God’s Word never fails
We shall soon, see His Son.

For His compassions, fail not
They are new each morning
Great is Your faithfulness
The LORD, is my portion.

Yes, held to God’s Word
His promises, and provision
Believed God would guide
Abraham’s hope and vision.

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

So then friend, you can find
In your darkest, deep hour
God is ever, our hope
Can uphold us, by His power.
