Nurturing a New Nature

Since Christ physically suffered,
As read according to the Word;
You need have the same attitude,
And merely stop being so rude.

For a person who has suffered,
His own soul will then become stirred;
And so no longer will they sin.

That way you will douse the fires,
That is guides sinful desires;
As you live the rest of your life,
Without the fear of wrathful strife.

Instead, the Lord will be your guide,
As He will come in to abide;
Leading what He wants you to do,
With each and every day through.

You spent enough time in the past,
Serving the lusts that do not last;
Worshipping all of your treasures,
Giving temporary pleasures.

Going out to flirt with the dames,
All night playing computer games;
Wild parties and getting drunk,
Then all of your classes you flunk.

So do not be holding a grudge,
When the Lord comes ready to judge;
The Good News is you are not late,
For to repent and compensate.
