Thirst Trap
There is a constant trap of lust
That is often after us
I urge you not to trust
The pleasures promised in lust
From your mind comes a thought
Then you find your body is caught
At first it was a feeling
But now it is a flame
So you keep on feeding
But now you cannot tame
What was first a curiosity claim
Is now a costly game
Now a shameful obsession that you want to hide
A sinister suggestion that you entertain late at night
You promise to not go far
Until you are too deep
You would have not jumped from the hill
If you knew it were so steep
And now it's something ill
And your insides it eats
It's never satisfied and always asking you for more
It entices you into shameful things abhorred
Because what was once obscene simply makes you bored
Your mind is now perverse
And you wish to reverse
But even if it hurts
You still seek to quench your thirst
For that sweet poison called porn
For which your seed is poured
And your innocence is torn
Trust me I have fallen and yes I have sinned
And I could not find the strength to fight with it from within
But I took it to my Savior
And He told me to resist
And that I should sprint
Should I be tempted in
Any sexuall sin
It is not a fight
For we cannot win
But we must run to the One who did
And in the arms of Jesus is saving grace
That my lust would be replaced
By His love.
The struggle with lust is real and it is not easy but there is hope! There is freedom in Christ. "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body."
