Lead Me Not into Temptation

Our Father, (Lead me not, Lord)
Which art in Heaven, (don't lead me)
Hallowed be Thy name (lead me not, lead me not)
Thy Kingdom come, (into temptation)
Thy Will be done (lead me not, Lord)
On earth (don't lead me)
As it is in Heaven (lead me not, lead me not)
Give us this day (into temptation)
Our daily bread, (lead me not, Lord)
And forgive us our trespasses (don't lead me)
As we forgive those (lead me not, lead me not)
Who trespass against us, (into temptation)
And lead us not (lead me not, Lord, don't lead me)
(Lead me not, lead me not) into temptation...
(Into temptation)...

Oh why, why, why is my flesh tryin' to kill me?
I'm 'bout to get real see, I hope that you can feel me
My flesh says "thrill me", so I will be in trouble
It's a tug-o-war, spirit and flesh, such a struggle
I'm married, my wife, she mine, but it don't make me blind
She's beautiful, but that don't mean nobody else can be fine
A Beamer still look good, even if I got a Mercedes
I'm holy and married, and havin' problems with the ladies
It ain't like I'm flirtin', that's my past, and I won't fall back
They may look good, but to me, my wife is all that
It's no comparison, but lust will make my flesh weak
Spirit's resistin', but my flesh is seein' fresh meat
Help me Lord, please, I'm beggin' You with one knee down
I wanna be right, then turn around and stare a honey down
I snap out of it, and check myself before it gets worse
Sayin', "She is my sis' first", then I'll quickly disperse
I'll speak and be nice, but I won't lead you on,
And sit and chatter
I even showed my ring, but to some, it didn't matter
If you insist on flirtin', women I can't be y'all friend
Last thing I need is for me or you to be all in
Lookin' all good, bad enough I use to be a player
Now I'm a new creature, that's desperately in need of prayer
Give me grace Lord, to win this fleshly battle
Without You, I'm up the creek without a paddle...
Lead me not...

Our Father, (Lead me not, Lord)
Which art in Heaven, (don't lead me)
Hallowed be Thy name (lead me not, lead me not)
Thy Kingdom come, (into temptation)
Thy Will be done (lead me not, Lord)
On earth (don't lead me)
As it is in Heaven (lead me not, lead me not)
Give us this day (into temptation)
Our daily bread, (lead me not, Lord)
And forgive us our trespasses (don't lead me)
As we forgive those (lead me not, lead me not)
Who trespass against us, (into temptation)
And lead us not (lead me not, Lord, don't lead me)
(Lead me not, lead me not) into temptation...

What about when I'm in my automobile, mindin' my bu'ness?
A couple of brothers pull up lookin' at me,
Like I'm on their hit list
I'm thinkin', "What's up wit' this?!",
Now my spirit wants to witness
But flesh is like, "Forget this!", and beefin' with the quickness
It's bad enough I gotta resist all the good lookin' women
To make the matters worse, I'm dealin' with brothers
Who be grimmin'?!
My spirit wanna chill, but flesh is like, "Bring the crap on!"
It's lustin' for the opportunity to get it's scrap on
Picture that: Saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost filled, and beefin'?
Don't mistake me for bein' soft enough to sink your teeth in
I use to be thuggish and rowdy, but what did that junk prove?
I thought I was hard, 'til I found out it was a punk move
It's easy livin' a carnal, sinful life, lettin' flesh go
But press yo' way against the grain, bein' a pure, holy vessel
I'm tellin' you that we fight just
because it is the flesh's occupation
But despite lust, I'm gonna be righteous,
Lord, don't lead me to temptation...

Our Father, (Lead me not, Lord)

Hallowed be Thy name (lead me not, lead me not)

On earth (don't lead me)
As it is in Heaven (lead me not, lead me not)
Give us this day (into temptation)
Our daily bread, (lead me not, Lord)
And forgive us our trespasses (don't lead me)
As we forgive those (lead me not, lead me not)
Who trespass against us, (into temptation)
And lead us not (lead me not, Lord, don't lead me)
(Lead me not, lead me not) into temptation...

Lord, lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil
Not "Knievel", it's the devil when you add the "d" though
Let me retrieve Yo' bible Lord, 'cause I believe Yo'
Word, You say submit to You, resist him, and he'll flee so
Be it, amen. You're under my feet devil, get thee behind me
No longer will you blind me, rewind me and bind me
Which reminds me flesh about the
Word that I'm gone bring for you
I told the devil, now let me tell your butt a thing or two
Spirit lusts against the flesh, and flesh against the spirit
Whatever spirit wants to do, my flesh ain't nowhere near it
I hate evil, but if I walk in the flesh, I must love it!
Walk in the spirit, and I won't fulfill the lusts of it
The answer's in His Word, see 'cause this is God's show
So follow Him, I never said it wasn't hard though
Give me grace for temptations, so I'll resist 'em
Rejoicin' as I'm growin' up in wisdom... lead me not...

Our Father, (Lead me not, Lord)
Which art in Heaven, (don't lead me)
Hallowed be Thy name (lead me not, lead me not)
Thy Kingdom come, (into temptation)
Thy Will be done (lead me not, Lord)
On earth (don't lead me)
As it is in Heaven (lead me not, lead me not)
Give us this day (into temptation)
Our daily bread, (lead me not, Lord)
And forgive us our trespasses (don't lead me)
As we forgive those (lead me not, lead me not)
Who trespass against us, (into temptation)
And lead us not (lead me not, Lord, don't lead me)
(Lead me not, lead me not) into temptation...
(Into temptation)...

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation
For when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life
Which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him
Let no man say, when he is tempted
"I am tempted of God"
For God cannot be tempted with evil
Neither tempteth He any man
But every man is tempted when he is drawn away
Of his own lust and enticed
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin
And sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death
James, chapter 1
Verses 12 through 15
