Will Temptation Be Your Downfall

Life's a temptation 
we all have to overcome.

To truly find peace in 
our lives, we have to 
learn to push the devil 
aside...

And follow the word 
of The Lord.

If we continue to do 
wrong, then what's 
the purpose of living 
at all.

Everyday's a test of 
what we do, what we 
say...

It's the choices we 
make that defines 
us.

The evil that men do 
will not be overlooked,
there will come a time 
of judgement day for 
everyone.

If we resist the devils 
attempts to lure us in,
then by the grace of 
God we will win.

An act of kindness 
can heal the heart.

If we choose to show love 
for one another instead of 
hate, then in heaven we will 
reign when our time on this 
earth expires.

The choice is yours 
will temptation be your 
downfall ?
