LEAD ME NOT INTO TEMPTATION

From the time that I first understood
what was right and what was wrong,
I’ve tried to follow Lord Your guidance
and not that of the throng.

I fell Lord in my humanness
to weak to stem the tide,
my sins filled me with such guilt
temptation took me for a ride.

Satan couldn’t keep me in his clutches
my conscience took the upper hand,
Your voice it called me from within
You told me of Your Plan.

Years have passed, it’s now more clear
that from the time of all Creation,
I was made to love and follow You
live with You, Your every Station.

Put me Lord, not to the test
for weak I still might be,
I know that You, my Lord, my God
are my true destiny.
