SONG 121
We Need Self-Control
-
1. We love Jehovah with heart, mind, and soul;
But since we are sinful, we need self-control.
Fleshly desires bring trouble and strife;
Living by spirit brings peace and life.
-
2. Satan’s temptations confront us each day,
And sin’s law within us can lead us astray.
Power of truth is greater than sin.
Thanks to Jehovah, our minds can win.
-
3. Each word and action reflects on God’s name,
So we must endeavor to keep free from blame.
In all we do, we make this our goal:
Always maintaining our self-control.
(See also 1 Cor. 9:25; Gal. 5:23; 2 Pet. 1:6.)
