lyrics
VERSE 1
Your Word tells me I have a need
To watch out for my soul
And every day it’s clear to me
I need Your self-control
My hands and feet are quick to move
Before I even know
So Jesus make me more like You
And give me self-control
CHORUS
Lord, I’m needy
So I’m pleading
Come and fill me
Help me to be self-controlled
Help me to be self-controlled
VERSE 2
When I say words I shouldn’t speak
And hurt the ones I know
On mornings when I’d rather sleep
I need Your self-control
When I am told to sit for hours
And time goes by so slow
I need the Holy Spirit’s power
To give me self-control

I discovered these songs during Advent, preparing for my CCD teaching lesson. Kids loved it, sang, danced, ... and learned about Bible stories. 7th graders: teens, but still kids. Great for multiple intelligence lesson plan preparation!

My small children and I both love this album, which is an achievement in itself. But more than its wide appeal, it's rooted in the very language and heart of the Bible, which makes it very special indeed.
