Our Selfish Desires
If you're guided by the Spirit,
Then you will surely inherit;
A will power that will resist,
The temptations that will persist.
You know the selfish desires,
That light up the burning fires;
And overflows with so much greed,
Changing a want into a need.
So many through everyday,
Allowing themselves to obey;
Which is putting all of their trust,
And into their sinfully lust.
They have given up on their fight.
That would have kept them in the light;
As they start walking through the maze,
Giving in to immoral ways.
Walk in His Spirit who will lead,
And show you what you really need;
When the Spirit does have control,
Purity remains in your soul.
