The Power of Lustful Flesh


Ephesians 5:3-5

You must not think of a sexual immorality,
For fleshy lusts or other kinds of impurity;
No possible way of you to become a saint,
With harlots to become intimately acquaint;
Give up filthy and foolish talk even in jest,
As well as pictures of women bare breast;
You of an unclean mind being an idolater,
Admiring a woman who is an exhibitioner;
No heaven to those looking up girls' skirts,
No inheritance for those who are perverts.
Deception and evil lurk within lusty hearts,
Causing quilt and shame as purity departs;
Some feel alright to look but do not touch,
But God says you still lust just as much;
Looking at another woman in a lustful way,
Is like committing adultery when you stray;
It may not seem as bad at that certain time,
But God is still considers it such a crime;
Bringing wrath from God when disobedient,
For breaking a law then God is not lenient.
