Temptation

T - esting time will always come
E - very time all day how long
M - ake no excuse cast it down
P -  ut God first, and he'll always be around.

T - ake sometime to check your thoughts,
A -  ct on the onset straight away,
T -   hink on the things that are lovely, and pure
I  -   n the meantime
O  -  ffer sacrifices of praise
N  -  ow that you've overcome.

Temptations will come, and temptations will go,
The devil will attack for a season.
resist him on the onset, and he will flea
Temptations are for a reason.
