(La Cucaracha)
1. Lord do not
(D)lead us into temp- ta- tion. (rest) What is this for which we (A7)pray? Because we
(A7)know that the Lord would nev- er (rest) cause someone to go a- (D)stray. We are a-
(D)ware too as long as we live (rest) that temptations will not (A7)quit. And so there
(A7)must be a deeper mean- ing (rest) if we'll only look for (D)it.
2. In this pe-
ti- tion, what we are ask- ing (rest) is that God would give us aid that when temp-
ta- tions we have to face our (rest) will to triumph doesn't fade, That we would
not be misled or tempt- ed (rest) to despair and unbe- lief but in the
strength that the Savior gives us (rest) from temptation find re- lief.
3. What are the
sour- ces of our temp- ta- tion? (rest) Usually we think of three. First is the
dev- il. And he as- sults us (rest) conscience-wise and spirit'al- ly. And then the
world tempts thru pride & en- vy (rest) & desire for pow'r & fame. We're finally
tempt- ed through evil lusts, Our (rest) sinful flesh it's called by name.
4. So these make
up all the deadly per- ils (rest) and temptations which we bear. We surely
know that this side of heav- en, (rest) they will constantly be there. Although temp-
ta- tions will always come we (rest) do not need to let them stay. But rather,
"Lead not in to temp- ta- tion," (rest) is the pray'r we ought to pray.
