I tell you to urge you,
In the name of the Lord;
Always to remain true,
His teachings not ignored.
Live not any longer,
Like others of this place;
So you can grow stronger,
In His mercy and grace.
They think of worthless things,
But cannot understand;
For the pleasure it brings,
Where the darkness commands.
Because of ignorance,
And secluded from life;
Having false confidence,
Understands not the strife.
No longer any shame,
They are promiscuous;
Perversion they proclaim,
Becomes more contagious.
That is not what was taught,
Learning from Jesus Christ;
What you should not have sought,
How desires enticed.
You have heard His message,
And have been taught His ways;
For the rite of passage,
To God if one obeys.
The truth is within Christ,
Changing the way you live;
Confess what has enticed,
The Father will forgive.
Who that you used to be,
Ruined through desires;
Deceiving what you see,
The blind heart requires.
So get rid of the lies,
Speak the truth with others;
Open up your ears and eyes,
Talking to your brothers.
