What is Lust?

Lust is ugliness disguised as grace.
Lust is disgust staring into my face.
Lust possesses my entire living space.
Lust takes all my hopes to erase.
Lust removes the beauty from life.
Lust fills the room with unbearable strife.

Lust remains silent when I cry out in pain
And laughs at my heart breaking from its chains.
Lust attacks me when I try to leave
And lies when God wants me to believe.
Lust commands when I disobey
And confuses when trying to find my way.
Lust cries out when I seek God’s voice
And decides when trying to make the right choice.
Lust never quits chasing after me
With all its bitterness and jealousy.

Lust will capture, conquer, and destroy me.
So to SA I flee with brothers and sisters welcoming me
To lift me up and out of the pit.
As the wrongs I’ve done, I start to admit
The freedom I find is beyond description
By working my program, my daily prescription.

Alone, I’m lost and enslaved to the foe.
But together and unified, God’s power is bestowed.
The power of God lust cannot defeat
But rather lust itself is the one that’s beat.
