Sho Baraka - Temptation lyrics

[Hook: Andy Mineo] This body's not mine it's yours it's yours it's yours So everyday I'm fighting a war To flee from it all 'til I'm free from it all (2x) [Verse 1: KB] Ok saved at an early age In thirty days, it felt like I had managed to murdered most of my worldly ways Worldly ways? But a couple stayed and coupled with a couple years I'm wondering am I had missed out on the thrills I had thrown away Was all this in vain? Strain to remain and refrain And sustain through this flame in my veins Lust is his name, this virgin a burden I ain't never hit the club maybe I just need a taste A lil' taste, a lil' taste is like a little rape A lil' drank, a poison but can it k** a mayne? A heard them say without s** life is a waste But Christ is over all I kept my pants on my waste Turned beautiful chicks away, dudes swearin' that I'm lame Though I got a s** drive the Spirit's holding the brakes There's no breaks this is His infinite work Content with my rib nothing is sweet enough to desert her [Interlude] See some of y'all done bought the lie That s** is what makes you a man But that's not what makes you a man Anybody can go lay with a woman What makes you a man is being defined By who you say you are in Christ If you have Christ you have all that you need Everything you need is bound up in the resurrected Savior [Verse 2: Derek Minor] Look can I be real with you They say that women want attention that's the real issue And if they only wore dresses just a little bit longer Then the flesh that I be feeding wouldn't burn like a sauna Wait is that the reason why your brain is in chains? When you at home by yourself in front of computer screens Or is that the reason why sick men prey on Little girls in school still playing with crayons No! It's the flesh that all men should fight While Satan persist to tempt us with our own wicked delights See God made intimacy to glorify He The flesh wanna do as we please glorify we (don't deserve it) That girl is not an object for playing That's a woman not a barbie I don't care what Nicki say And just like her s** is God's creation You spit inside his face when you don't use it how he made it [Interlude] Sex is a gift from God but we've taken it and made it idolatry We've taken it and put it in the place of God And we worship it and so it comes out in all kinds of profane ways And so we blame the women for what they're wearing And we blame the media for what they're producing But we never blame ourselves For how we've twisted God's gift to glorify us [Verse 3: Tedashii] Flesh on the rise like the tide when I go surfing You can see just what I prize in my life when I go searching Roaming with my eyes; no surprise sin is lurking Get's me every time and inside man I'm hurting Pretending that I'm fine but it's a lie man I'm burdened Cause what's inside is never satisfied so I serve it Afraid of getting caught so I hide I'm so nervous Scared that I may die begging Christ to reverse it Lord you are the gospel such a bad scene Even if I clear my history my past ain't clean And I can try clean it up but it never seems enough I trust myself then hurt myself fail this is tough I need the gospel clear see my sin for what it is One brings life the other d**h man to me plus my kids Selfish in my ways and it's go'n put me in the grave But Christ can save and set you free no longer be enslaved [Bridge: Andy Mineo] My spirit willing but my flesh weak And this moment is but a test see Yeah, Lord you're greater than all these pleasures I just wanna see you as my treasure God I wanna Flee from it all till I'm free from it all (4x) [Interlude] Manning up is not just managing your s**ual temptations It's not just managing your sin that's not what it means to be a man Because you can try harder and you can do better And you can hang on longer that's not manning up Manning up is our ability to lay down all of our effort And all of our trying and all of our strength and say I trust in Jesus I trust in his perfection I trust in his power I trust in his ressurection Because he's the only one that can get me through this And He's the only one that can make me free
