Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Your Word tells me I have a need
To watch out for my soul
And every day it’s clear to me
I need Your self-control
My hands and feet are quick to move
Before I even know
So Jesus make me more like You
And give me self-control
CHORUS
Lord, I’m needy
So I’m pleading
Come and fill me
Help me to be self-controlled
Help me to be self-controlled
VERSE 2
When I say words I shouldn’t speak
And hurt the ones I know
On mornings when I’d rather sleep
I need Your self-control
When I am told to sit for hours
And time goes by so slow
I need the Holy Spirit’s power
To give me self-control
