The Naked Truth

II Corinthians 5:3-7

If being clothed then not to be found nude,
Going to church in the buff would be crude;
Mortality could be swallowed up of life,
Unknown conflict between joy and strife;
God molded us to know right from wrong,
Giving us the Holy Spirit making us strong;
To be confident feeling at home in a shell,
While living on the earth in order to dwell;
Even when the Lord is not within the light,
We walk by our faith rather than by sight.
We can thank Adam with wearing clothes,
It is alright for then no pockets I suppose;
Just think of what Adam and Eve induced,
For the guilt and shame were produced;
We learn as we mature how to decide,
It is alright if the Holy Spirit is inside;
This body God molded was given at birth,
As we live and learn here on planet earth;
If we remain faithful through life's flow,
Our soul leaves the shell when time to go.
