Tempers
Parody of "Tempted" performed by Squeeze and written by Glenn Tilbrook & Chris Difford
(1 Corinthians 1:10-17, 6:1-8, 13:5; Ephesians 4:26-31; Colossians 3:8; 1 Timothy 2:8; Philippians 4:2; Galatians 5:13-15; Proverbs 14:29; Matthew 5:22)

I'm bold and truthful — not two faced — I stand up for my faith
I'm honest — but careful — I shoot very straight
But sanctified aggression is an utter disgrace
As the Church and His people
We all belong to Him
We're more than a building
We're members, but we still keep falling and falling
But forgive 'em all — I know I will

Tempers fly and few love their brothers
Attempt it, but, the truth is, they're stubborn
What's with those at odds?
Now, if you have God
Then show others
Tempers fly and few love their brothers
Attempt it, but, the truth is, they're stubborn

I've had some hard hearts to care for
With baggage there myself
But we gonna keep on tryin'
And wishin' others well
I threaten on occasion
They're so sorry; I could tell
At my best, I am a prophet
Who puts them on the spot
The Body gets much closer
And humble for their God
Alarmed by their combustion
I wish the snits would stop

Tempers fly and few love their brothers
Attempt it, but, the truth is, they're stubborn
What's with those at odds?
Now, if you have God
Then show others
Tempers fly and few love their brothers
Attempt it, but, the truth is, they're stubborn

The Lord above all, so perfect
Is watchin' over you
Better watch your conscience
He hates when we act rude
Exemplify affection
Build a loving attitude

Tempers fly and few love their brothers
Attempt it, but, the truth is, they're stubborn
What's with those at odds?
Now, if you have God
Then show others
Tempers fly and few love their brothers
Attempt it, but, the truth is, they're stubborn

Ohh!
Tempers fly and few love their brothers
(What's with those at odds?)
Attempt it, but, the truth is, they're stubborn
(What's with those at odds?)
Tempers fly and few love their brothers
(What's with those at odds?)
Attempt it, but, the truth is, they're stubborn
(What's with those at odds?)
Tempers fly and few love their brothers
(What's with those at odds?)
Attempt it, but, the truth is, they're stubborn
(What's with those at odds?)

1 Corinthians 1:10-11
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.
