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.
