I want it out, I want it out,
This desire in my heart.
I want it out, I want it out,
So the sin won’t start.
I need relief, I need relief,
From this damaging thought.
I need relief, I need relief,
Before I am caught.
I’m praying, I’m praying,
For the struggle to be gone.
I’m praying, I’m praying,
Not to be Satan’s pawn.
I’m reading, I’m reading,
The words that are right.
I’m reading, I’m reading,
To build up my might.
It’s still there, it’s still there,
Why want it go away?
It’s still there, it’s still there,
Can’t make another day.
Hang on, hang on,
Just a little bit more.
Hang on, hang on,
Don’t open that door.
It’s no good, it’s no good,
What you will endure.
It’s no good, it’s no good,
For you not to remain pure.
Don’t give in, don’t give in,
It’s just a delusion.
Don’t give in, don’t give in,
To evil’s collusion.
They’ll be hurt, they’ll be hurt,
The ones you love most.
They’ll be hurt, they’ll be hurt,
Reputations will be toast.
There’s hope, there’s hope,
In the One that you know.
There’s hope, there’s hope,
If you will keep your glow.
It’s worth it, it’s worth it,
To keep up the fight.
It’s worth it, it’s worth it,
For the sake of the Light.
James 1:14-17
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
Prayer:
Father, save me from these desires that haunt my heart. Protect me from Satan’s deception as he tempts me by his delusions. Let Your light become stronger within me as I daily fight to remain pure. Show me the way to righteousness that I may never put You, the Spirit, or my Savior to shame. Have mercy on my repentant soul when my flesh grows weak. I love You for Your grace and making every sinful denial worth it to be in the presence of the eternal Light. In Christ, Amen.
Truth in love,
