Break These Chains of Temptation

I fall down in my times of despair
I desperately hit my knees
I cry out to the heavens above
"Dear Lord hear my silent plea"

I've let myself fall apart
I've let old Satan in
I've fallen away from you Jesus
I've fallen back into sin

I've back slid down this mountain
That i've fearfully over come
And right when i think it's over
My temptations are never done

They pull on my heart that's so forward
They pull on my souls life strings
And i realize that it's never over
And pain is all that he brings

So i fall back on my knees once more
And i never give in to him
I close my eyes and i see the light
That without it, my life would be dim

And i know he's never forsaken me
And his back has never been turned
And greedily i cry for his comfort
That my heart so needily yearns

i cry those tears of pain again
That he cried out in salvation
And i break free from all things bad
I break free from these chains of temptation.

So i open the book of God's word
And i put all my presence in this
Ever so slightly i feel his hands
And i feel that merciful kiss.

For God is everything to me in this life
The devil tries to take it away
But i stand true to what i believe
Because it will show on judgement day

When my hard times are over
And i know he's answered my prayers
I get down one more time for him
For a touch of HIS pain i've shared

For any pain i could ever go through
Is only a pinch of his
And when God freed him from his body
That was his merciful kiss.

When my times get rough again
And i feel like i can't go on
I get down on my knees again
For there, i'm never alone

I might just be a lowly person
And a fearing one i might be
But i know it's the ones who's on their knees
That our Jesus chooses to see

The humble and meek shall serve him
And the pridefull will surely fall
They lived their life for things on this earth
And they did not give him their all

The ones that pray for strength and courage
Shall find just what they seek
Open your heart to the word of God
And ye shall never be weak.

Those chains may come back to grab you
And be your self anihalation
Just fall down on your knees once more
And break those chains of temptation.
