Keeping Faith Strong
I want to let you know,
The struggle I go through;
No matter where I go,
No matter what I do.
For I want to do right,
What I know in my heart,
And pleasing to God's sight,
In His Word never part.
But temptations are great,
Through each and every day;
With such enticing fate,
For luring me to stray.
I do not want to trust,
It is not of His love;
But rather of a lust,
Not coming from above.
Recalling life before,
My faith in Christ was strong;
Locks the tempter's door,
Resistance to prolong.
