Temptation

 

There is no temptation that's not common to man

But God has a purpose and God has a plan

For every temptation there's a chance and a choice

To overcome evil and in turn rejoice.

 

To love in the midst of hatefulness

To rejoice in the light of sorrow

To know peace in times of confusion

And patience awaiting tomorrow

To be kind in the face of evil

To see goodness prosper and grow

To be faithful in all circumstances

Gentleness and self control to show

 

There is no temptation that's not common to man

But God has a purpose and God has a plan

For every temptation there's a chance and a choice

To overcome evil and in turn rejoice.
