Purity's Principle

Why, my beloved,

Do you search near and far

For what never will satisfy

Your deep longings of heart?

Why must you flitter

From here and to there

Seeking for pleasure

In other affairs?

You seek not the wisdom

Of God in your heart.

From Godly counsel

You ever depart.

While playing your games,

The clock keeps ticking by

While you waste away time,

And God’s patience you try.

You certainly think that God 

Does not keep track

Of your many adulteries,

While purity you lack.

Or else this you think –

God will not notice, not care

that although you snub Him,

you think you’re His heir.

So, let me be quick

To point out to you truth.

God’s Word not agrees with you

Who are uncouth. 

God certainly cares when you

Leave Him for lust.

Yes, God is so loving,

But also He’s just.

Our Lord did not die

On that cross that sad day

Just to forgive you so

With sin you’d play.

Our Lord Jesus Christ,

Gave His life for our sins

So we’d live victoriously,

Holy within.

To sin and to self

We must die with our Lord,

And fellowship with Him,

Walk with Him, one accord.

The lust of our eyes, 

Pride of life, must forsake,

If fellowship with our Lord God

We partake.

In holiness now we must walk,

Faith within,

Empowered by God,

Holy Spirit live in.
