Take Control of Me

Written by Lydell Washington 8/10/01

“Take Control of Me” talks about how discouraged we can feel when we try to live our lives without sin but we continue to give in to it. We must remember that God has provided His word to be a guide to us when we find ourselves lost in sin. All we have to do is open our bibles and let the words lead the way.
