Self Control (Becky)
Track 11
I want it now I don’t want to waste One more game, one more song One more hour awake
The screen keeps calling And I keep giving in Little by little I forget how to say no
Not today No, I will not be mastered No, I don’t have to obey
Jesus, you are better Better than what I want right now I choose you
Friends and family with me But eyes are somewhere else Your word is waiting But I keep choosing myself
I say just one more minute Then another hour is gone Lord, teach my heart to stop Paul said
I will not be mastered Your spirit gives self-control Strength to turn away Strength to close the screen
Strength to wait and pray To choose what is better Again and again No, I will not be mastered
No, I do not have to obey
Jesus, you are better Better than what I want right now I choose you
Tonight I put the screen away Tonight I let the silence stay Tonight I open up your word Tonight I listen and obey
Self-control can grow again Let it start in us Teach us to wait Teach us to say no
Teach us to choose you More and more
