The Temptation

By Timothy Brindle

On Killing Sin

[Verse 1]

Tim's facing temptation

Sin's waiting I'm getting impatient

Its 11:20 and desires are raging raw

Inside this fire it's waging war

Lust is calling

I feel myself getting closer to porn's clutch and falling

Then I'll be stuck indulging

To this wicked and gross sin, but no I trust He's sovereign

Father I know that you're able to rescue

Save me from this then I'll praise You and bless You

But then my flesh it fights back it's wretched like that

It won't settle until it gets its trife snack

It want to be appeased my thoughts are being teased

It won't stop so I'm dropping on my knees

My actions froze

I know I need to pray but the passion grows

Stronger, it craves for satisfaction

And it seems it's strength is fastly grasping

Its hold on me and it's only a matter of time until I'm snatched in trapped in

In my sinful desires- I'm hating

I'm sick of resisting and tired of fighting

I feel locked in like those in prison

Without your help now I know I'll give in

Now I'm longing to sin dude

But my only hope is the Father's promise to cling to

How can this passion and urge

Be zapped and then purged?

So I dive and I grab for His word

Next to me- when I open my bible to this text I see

God's promise to rescue me

Psalm 50:15- so I cry it out to the Lord with this big scream

You said, 'Call upon me in the day of trouble

I will deliver you and you shall glorify Me.'

So Lord You say if I call on your name

Then You'll deliver me from falling in shame

I want to glorify You before Your eyes too

So please help me adore and prize You

Because I know sin is so destructive

Give me strength by Your Spirit because I was almost sucked in

But I trust Your faithful promises

Your name's to great I won't dishonor it

And sin's deceiving but Your word displays this

Nothing compares to Your worth and greatness

And while I wait on You Lord with my face to the floor

As I pray I start craving You more

Because the sweetness of Your love's more hot to me

Than the fleeting pleasures of pornography

And I know that only You Adonai

Can keep my souls appetite satisfied

But Romans 6 must be read again

To remind me that I'm dead to sin

Yo truly I believe this

At the cross my old sinful self was crucified with Jesus

And with Him I'm resurrected too

So my bodily members I present to You

And verse 14 says that sin shall not be master over me

So I know I'm free

But forgive me for even entertaining to notion

To open up sins potency- so I turn to Romans 3

To see a love abundantly how Your blood it covers me

So all praise to the Trinity

For deliverance from sin He gave me this victory

From the shame of iniquity

Now all praise to the Trinity

Who gave me this victory

Yo all praise to the trinity

For His word, strength, and sufficiency- He gave me this victory
