I don’t want much,
there’s so little that I ask
but I do need God to give me
strength for the task.
Temptation is so real,
I sit in front of it every day
and I really have to learn
how to look the other way.
At times I linger around,
for what I think I need
and on the attraction . . .
I wait to feast and feed.
Oh, that God would grant me,
the power to overcome
for my hope is one day . . .
all temptation ~ I’ll outrun!

Job 6:8
King James Version
“Oh that I might have my request;
and that God would grant me
the thing that I long for!”
