The Easy Way Out

II Corinthians 7:1-4

Let us cleanse ourselves of filth and shame,
Contamination of body and soul to blame;
Perfecting the holiness in the fear of God,
Ridding ourselves of what makes us flawed;
Not to defraud, corrupt, or another wrong,
For not to condemn rather a faith be strong;
For God is in our hearts to die and to live,
Within you because of the power to forgive;
Great boldness in speech of a glorification,
To comfort and joy with all the tribulation.
We have many distractions and temptation,
Making it hard for maintaining purification;
Praising and praying so often goes ignored,
When it becomes time to worship our Lord;
We often get wrapped up in just being lazy,
That misleads you in thinking of being cozy;
Passionate living causes loss of your sight,
Making you blind to the truth and the light;
Do not try to always take the easy way out,
If you loose your faith you'll surely doubt.
