Once newly into Christ
you don't belong,
For Christ is into you:
Home isn't here,
And where you go the
light will shine so strong
Abstain from fleshy
lusts, which fight the soul,
For they can drive a
wedge 'tween God and you;
They turn your vision
from its Holy goal
And cause a stumbled
fall to tarry, too.
The worldly world of
lust is sensual,
Tempts sight and touch
and sound and taste and smell.
It bids you come and
join the festival,
Then pins you to the
wall of death and hell.
Abstain from lust, my sister newly saved
You have a choice: be free or be enslaved.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as
strangers and pilgrims,
abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1 Peter 2:11 KJV
