Temptation

Temptation comes in many forms
Some that we can see
Sometimes it will hide itself
And become what it has to be

Like Jesus in the wilderness
Fourty days He did not eat
And in His weakest Moment
Temptation smelled defeat

Jesus never fell to sin
Temptation had no hold
For Jesus saw the Promise
That He Himself foretold

The grass is always greener
Sometimes this is true
But we forget the price we pay
And what it's costing you
