Poetry

---

I am allowed to do anything,
But not everything is good;
Though the pleasure that it may bring,
Not as what God says that I should.

I am allowed to do anything,
But will not let it take control;
Even though bad habits will cling,
I will not let them in my soul.

My stomach satisfied by food,
But God will satisfy my heart;
Giving me the right attitude,
Awake to a new day to start.

But the body is not for sin,
Since your body is for the Lord;
Sexual urges should not win,
And at all cost should be ignored.

For your body is part of Christ,
With Him you need to become one;
To a harlot not sacrificed,
So save your body for the Son.

If you unify with the Lord,
You become one with His Spirit;
Show that He is loved and adored,
He will give love for your merit.

Stay away from sexual sin,
And other sins do not commit;
Allow purifying within,
Inviting the Holy Spirit.

For your body is a temple,
That is for the Holy Spirit;
Not abused by other people,
For any immoral merit.

For you had been bought with a price,
As to bring glory unto God;
His grace allowed the sacrifice,
So that we could honor and laud.
