Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Jesus, You were tempted
In every way like I am
But You never gave in –No!
You looked to Your Father
And the Spirit’s power
For Your strength and self-control
CHORUS
Jesus, You’re my hope
You will help me grow
I don’t want to sin
I don’t want to give in –No!
Jesus, give me self-control
VERSE 2
Right at the beginning
When I feel like sinning
Help me look to You alone
Help me to obey, Lord
Follow in Your way, Lord
Jesus, give me self-control
