We battle not the storm,
we fight against the wind
the squalls of temptation
beckoning us to sin.
We battle not the sea,
we fight against the wave
the billows of temptation
till to sin we are enslaved.
We battle not the climb,
we fight against the terrain
the rising of temptation
till sin becomes ingrained.
We battle not the descent,
we fight against the plunge
the force of temptation
till into sin we lunge.
We battle not the storm,
we fight against the Tempter
and so into our life’s . . .
we mustn’t let him enter!

1 Thessalonians 3:5
“For this cause, when I could no longer forbear,
I sent to know your faith, lest by some means
the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain”
