Defiling Purity

Mark 7:14-15

Hear me all of you and you'll understand,
These are God's Words, not secondhand;
There is nothing that is outside a man,
That is not already part of God's plan;
And not going in that would defile him,
God has no need to make things grim;
It is what is within man that comes out,
That causes man to have so much doubt;
While inside things become corrupted,
Defiling starts when purity is interrupted;
Are you listening with at one good ear?
Then please pay attention so you can hear;
Things from God is pure as milk and honey,
Thus making your attitude bright and sunny;
They're in the belly rather than the hearts,
Where it becomes defiled when it departs;
All the evil things proceed from within,
As man becomes caught in a world of sin;
It must've been Satan know to play havoc,
Reaching a man's heart through his stomach.
