Tempation, it is bitter But so hard to resist; If no one knows my own mind But the Lord Almighty, Then why is it so easy For my worship to become a lie? My family has endured me My friends, they do not know me And all in all, all I have Is myself and Christ to help me. I want to soar so badly But my wings were clipped somehow; My peers are all high in the trees, While I'm down here on the ground. It's a battle fought within me Deep inside my soul; A fight to the death, The New Man fights the Old. My dreams, they haunt and mock me And the traits I want so badly-- Integrity, love, responsibility-- Somehow seem to evade me. Temptation, it is bitter And no one can resist. We all know our own minds, But then, so does the Lord. Yet still, it is so easy, For our worship to be a lie.

Temptation
Tempation, it is bitter But so hard to resist; If no one knows my own mind But the Lord Almighty, Then why is it so easy For my worship to become a lie? My family has endured me My friends, they do not know me And all in all, all I have Is myself and Christ to help me. I want to soar so badly But my wings were clipped somehow; My peers are all high in the trees, While I'm down here on the ground. It's a battle fought within me Deep inside my soul; A fight to the death, The New Man fights the Old. My dreams, they haunt and mock me And the traits I want so badly-- Integrity, love, responsibility-- Somehow seem to evade me. Temptation, it is bitter And no one can resist. We all know our own minds, But then, so does the Lord. Yet still, it is so easy, For our worship to be a lie.
