Never let sin attempt to rule,
For it will just make you a fool;
Letting it light wild fires,
With obeying its desires.
Never let sin be in control,
That would endanger your own soul;
Making you confused what is love,
Causing to obey lusts thereof.
Offer not any part of you,
Your body in a sinful coup;
Never using for ungodly things,
Just for the some pleasure it brings.
Offer yourself instead for Christ,
And to Christians who sacrificed;
Who came back from death and live,
Because God showed grace to forgive.
Offer all of you to the Lord,
Show how much that He is adored;
Use them to do everything,
Of the zest to God it would bring.
Sin should not have power over you,
Before reacting think things through;
It is not law rather favor,
From God through Christ our Savior.
If you are offered as a slave,
How do you expect one to save;
On ships you obey the captain,
For he is wise and the chieftain.
Death is if sin is your master,
Letting it as your disaster;
As a slave then you must obey,
No hesitation or delay.
