Lust
By: C.H.James

The thoughts that cloud my mind
Reveal a soul not well
Each image that I dwell upon
Brings me closer yet to Hell

My flesh wars against my soul
Flesh gone beyond control
Drawing me to deepest sin
Destruction as its goal

Luscious lust and grabbing greed
This evil cannot cease to breed
Planted deep this loathsome seed
This ever growing, blooming weed

What power can purge this mortal brain
Defeat the flesh, cleanse the stain
Who can set this captive free?
Only the Christ of Calvary

His Spirit must in me abide
To give this filth no place to hide
His truth, His word will set me free
His blood has won my victory
