Flee Temptation
(Rich Mullins)
Evening comes with a bag of tricks and a sack of lies.
Packs a punch. When you give in an inch, you lose a mile.
It's feeding on your hunger. It's got you where it wants you to be.
Before it gets much stronger, don't wait much longer.
Flee temptation!
Downtown, where the lights are on and the streets open wide,
Make the rounds, chews you up. It's never satisfied!
Flee before they get your number. Is this where you want yourself to be?
You can feel it burnin! Time for you to turn and flee temptation.
See the situation!
You could be a free man, if you learn to flee temptation.
So, you're thinking that you're strong enough to fight it all.
But, it don't shrink away. It's bigger than you ever thought.
It sneaks up without notice... somehow always knows just where you're weak.
Before it gets you under, you'd better turn and run!
Flee temptation! See the situation.
You could be a free man, if you learn to flee temptation.
