Temptations Of The Body
Robert Catron 1963 (Kansas)
If you've ever been tempted I know you'll understand,
How temptation can overwhelm you with it's huge demand.
It starts in the heart & then goes to the mind,
You've got to get it under control - someway you'll find.
You know it's lust that's making you feel this way,
If you could only take the feelings and turn them into words to say.
It confuses the mind with thoughts you don't know,
Things you'd never think about - feelings you'd never want to show.
You know it's the Devil just playing with your mind,
So you pray to the Lord that deliverance you will find.
