Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Yield Not To Temptation

Verse 1

Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin;

each victory will help you some other to win;

fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue,

look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

Chorus

Ask the Savior to help you,

comfort, strengthen and keep you;

He is willing to aid you,

He will carry you through.

Verse 2

Shun evil companions, bad language disdain;

God's name hold in reverence, nor take it in vain;

be thoughtful and earnest, kind-hearted and true;

look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

Chorus

Verse 3

To him that o'ercometh, God giveth a crown;

through faith we shall conquer, though often cast down;

He who is our Savior our strength will renew;

look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

Chorus
