His footprints are there—He’s trodden this road,
It’s plain for all to see.
And yet sometimes as I follow His path,
My mindset is Woe is me!
I’m caught up in tribulation
Or temptation lurks nearby.
I remind myself that the Master
Has looked them all in the eye.
He endured the time of testing;
Turned His back on temptation, too.
He rose above all Satan could give
Then He died for me and you.
Give me the strength please, dear Father,
To resist temptation’s lure.
Attempt to walk in His footprints,
Try to keep my life clean and pure.
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
—Rom. 12:2b (NKJV)
