Fleeing Sin


Evil acts of the skin,
And other unclean things,
Are causing you to sin;
The perverse pleasure brings.

You go and light the fires,
If pleasing to the eye;
Causing your desires,
To burn with outright lies.

For you are putting trust,
Corrupted by your heart;
Which turns into a lust,
That will never depart.

You say that you believe,
That you walk in the light;
But your mouth does deceive,
With darkness of the night.

Allow your behavior,
As a child of light;
And follow the Savior,
Do what pleases His sight.

So do not be a fool,
That is causing you shame;
Avoid what makes you drool,
And let Christ light your flame.
