Temptation

At first there's little wrong as it's just sort of innocent Something for which you long but iit just wasn't meant But as it lingers it begins gaining more and more control Like glue stuck to your fingers it begins to take it's toll It's calls you everyday and reminds you what could've been Trampling over what you say in leading you to sin Showing you only the best what could of all been yours So with your time you invest biting on such colorful lures And as you go deeper and deeper losing more and more control The sides start to become steeper as you solidify your role Soon there is no exit only the path you've been directed down As now you're ready to quit and hand over your heavenly crown Laughing in your face as he snatches it from your head Thinking he stole all your grace, the reason why Jesus bled But little does he know the Father's great love for you Even mired in the depths below His love is forever true For each time that we fall the Lord will help us stand For each time He will call and He will reach out Hiis Hand He has covered that cost all done through His Son's Name Jesus, a beacon for the Lost, who washes away that shame 1 Corinthians 10:13  13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
