Tempting

I wandered in the shadows, chasing every lie

Tempted by the whispers that promised I could fly

Every step I stumbled, deeper in the night

Blinded by my hunger, I turned from Your light

But in the silence, I heard a gentle plea

A voice like thunder softly calling me

“Come and follow Me, My child,” You said

“I’ll lift the chains, erase the path you’ve tread”

I fell to my knees, tears on my face

“Lord, forgive me, fill me with Your grace”

The serpent’s cunning whispers tried to hold my soul

I danced with every shadow, lost my self-control

But mercy like a river washed my fear away

When I heard You call, I could not turn away

Your voice like a beacon shining endlessly

Pulling me back to eternity

“Come and follow Me, My child,” You said

Now I rise redeemed from where I bled

I’ll tell the world of Your endless grace

Forever I will seek Your face

Now every breath I take belongs to You

Your love has made my heart brand new

No more chains, no more shame

Forever I will lift Your name

“Come and follow Me, My child,” You said

Now I rise redeemed from where I bled

I will praise Your name eternally

For You have set this sinner free

“Forever I will lift Your name…”
