 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

Standards of God are spiritual,
But I have a corrupt nature;
Slave to sin that is immoral,
Forestalls me as a new creature.
 
I realize not of what I do,
And I am doing what I hate;
Preventing me what I want to.
To assist me to change my fate.
 
For I am weak to desire,
Knowing that His standards are good;
Satan keeps lighting the fire,
Preventing me in what I should.
 
So I am no longer the one,
Who is doing things that I hate;
But the sin lives within will shun,
As Satan tempts me with some bait.
 
I know nothing good lives in me,
Nothing good where I am corrupt;
What is right I just cannot see,
Where the dark side has developed.
 
I want to do things that are right,
But the evil prevents me to;
Which is keeping me from the light,
Doing what not wanting to do.
 
But I discovered what is true,
Why evil is ever present;
As I am trying to construe,
Why I am in such a torment.
 
For I take pleasure in the Law,
And delighting with what I heard;
The Holy Spirit repairs my flaw,
As He fills my heart with the Word.
 
I see a different standard,
Starting a war in heart and mind;
Forces that Satan has pandered,
Which was causing me to be blind.
 
I do thank God for our Lord,
For Jesus Christ has rescued me;
Transformed to be in one accord,
The Holy Spirit helps me see.
