Thurlow Weed - Lead us not into temptation - текст песни (слова)

1. "Lead us not into temptation,"
 Jesus teaches us to pray,
 recognizing how the tempter
 works to bend us from the way
 that is open to the promise
 and the purpose of each day.
 
 2. "Lead us not into temptation,"
 Jesus guides a heart to cry
 when the devil comes enticing,
 spinning visions in the sky.
 Wisdom knows an easy journey
 is the devil's sweetest lie.
 
 3. "Lead us not into temptation,"
 Jesus understands the prayer.
 Still he points us toward the desert
 with its devils, well aware
 God is sending better angels
 on the wind to join us there.
