Every Time You Feel Temptation


Every time you feel temptation...
Consider Jesus' passion.
He agonized in the garden...
He felt much stress and tension.

He loved us with such great love.
He knew He would shed His blood.
Jesus... spotless, without blemish,
Was the precious Lamb of God.

The soldiers spat upon Him.
His friends fled His side in fear.
Alone He faced the Sanhedrin,
Yet His Father was there.

For God so loved all of us,
He sent His Son to die...
Jesus, His only begotten Son.
Yes, the apple of His eye.

Jesus bore the many stripes...
Flesh ripped from His back.
Jesus became our propitiation...
'Lest we should suffer lack.

Jesus fell under His cross.
The weight was just too much.
He carried it because of our...
Sins, transgressions, and such.

Jesus underwent much suffering...
As He hung from that cruel tree.
On top of this humiliation...
He was accursed for you and me.

So when you feel temptation,
Call on God who makes a way.
Seek to do the will of God...
On this and every day.
