Be there for each other...
You're My Temptation
Alice Cooper
Don't touch your lips
Don't wear your hair like that
I feel your presence all around me
Don't get too close
Don't move your eyes like that
Because they're deep enough to drown me
It don't get how like this in Heaven
You fool me with your angel face
Your master knows where I'm my weakest
Mercy please, I'm on my knees
You're my temptation
Measure my faith, the devil's awake
He knows you're my temptation
Don't call my name
Don't brush my cheek like that
I curse the day that I found you
Don't touch my skin
Don't dance around like that
I feel damnation all around you
And so I raise my voice to Heaven
Please hide me in some holy place
Protect my soul, I'm only human
Mercy please, I'm on my knees
You're my temptation
Look down and see
Deliver me from my dark sensation
Give me faith, don't let me waste
You're my temptation
(her: Come to me)
You're such a liar
(her: Won't you come to me)
Move closer to the fire
(her: Just come to me)
No, no, no
(her: Won't you come to me I will set you free)
No, no, no
Mercy please, I'm on my knees
You're my temptation
Measure my faith, the devil's awake
He knows you're my temptation
Mercy please, I'm on my knees
You're my temptation
Go away in Heaven's name
You're my temptation
Go away, just go away
My dark sensation

This is the Proverbs 5 woman come to life (Prov. 5:1-14, approx). This is also a picture of the dark temptation of sin. Sin looks GOOD to our human eyes. Sin wouldn't be such a problem if it didn't feel good to the flesh. It brings a temporary satisfaction, a thrill, a buzz.
The singer is a torn person...on one hand, the sin looks good. In the case of the Proverbs 5 woman, she's a very attractive, sexy woman, and she's using all her charms to melt the guy's defenses. He's torn, because he KNOWS it is wrong, but at the same time, it looks good.
This is the primary reason that it's so hard to overcome temptation. In fact, it's largely impossible if we try it on our own. This is why we need God's help, and the support of the Body of Christ.
Brothers and sisters, don't kick your fellow brother or sister when they're down. When one falls, those who are around need to pick up and restore that one.
I know, I've been there. The temptations can be too much for one to handle. Ecclesiastes says it this way:
9 It's better to have a partner than go it alone.
Share the work, share the wealth.
10 And if one falls down, the other helps,
But if there's no one to help, tough!
11 Two in a bed warm each other.
Alone, you shiver all night.
12 By yourself you're unprotected.
With a friend you can face the worst.
Can you round up a third?
A three-stranded rope isn't easily snapped.
(Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 MSG)
Be there for each other. I thank God for those who have been there for me in my times of weakness. God has put some wonderful people in my life to help me in those dark hours. Thank you for being there, baby...i love you.
til next time, love God and love each other.
