Self-Control

From Music Machine - The Fruit of the Spirit (Available with full CD)


Once I had a knot in my shoe
And it would not come loose
I tried and tried and pried and pried
But it would not come loose
I got so mad I kicked the door
and stubbed my little toe, ohhh
If only I had learned a little bit of self-control

Self-control is just controlling myself
It's listening to my heart
And doing what is smart
Self-control is the very best way to go
So I think that I'll control myself

I never like to brush my teeth
I wish that I could stop
I'd have more time for candy bars
And drinking soda pop

But soon my teeth would hurt so bad
From all the cavities, oh me!
I'd better learn some self-control
So this won't happen to me

Self-control is just controlling myself
It's listening to my heart
And doing what is smart
Self-control is the very best way to go
So I think that I'll control myself
