Temptation should be called agony It’s blade never dulls It is sharpened with each cut The searing pain Working through your mind Each time the knife strikes Manipulating whispers with its whip Lashing until gashes form Then salted with stinging guilt This prolific playwright And its vainglory stories Demands a stellar performance It plays with your desires when resistance attacks It side blinds you with instigation From past hurts that were never healed It beats you down To where you don’t know yourself And your weaknesses are exposed I cannot fathom what Jesus felt While in agony in the garden As temptation played its game The weight on His shoulders Heavier than any of us could ever carry Brought Him down to His knees But He beat this disease He showed us it was possible Through Him we will find the cure So the next time temptation demands a performance Turn to the True Prolific Playwright Where vainglory is transformed into sacrificial love Whose life inspires And His stories teaches truth Because when you know the truth Temptation has no choice but to sit back And see our OWN stellar performance

Vainglory Temptation
Temptation should be called agony It’s blade never dulls It is sharpened with each cut The searing pain Working through your mind Each time the knife strikes Manipulating whispers with its whip Lashing until gashes form Then salted with stinging guilt This prolific playwright And its vainglory stories Demands a stellar performance It plays with your desires when resistance attacks It side blinds you with instigation From past hurts that were never healed It beats you down To where you don’t know yourself And your weaknesses are exposed I cannot fathom what Jesus felt While in agony in the garden As temptation played its game The weight on His shoulders Heavier than any of us could ever carry Brought Him down to His knees But He beat this disease He showed us it was possible Through Him we will find the cure So the next time temptation demands a performance Turn to the True Prolific Playwright Where vainglory is transformed into sacrificial love Whose life inspires And His stories teaches truth Because when you know the truth Temptation has no choice but to sit back And see our OWN stellar performance
