War of the Flesh

Why do I act the way I do

Why do I go back to the same thoughts of you

What part of my heart needs the comfort that I seek

What part of my soul do I think you will feed

Let me tell you what I see

Perhaps you can see it too

Because I know you seek the same

And think the same of me as I you

The devil purposes testimonies

For me and for you

To be destructive in nature

When we do the things we ought not do

This void inside of you and me

Longs to be filled by what we see

But don’t believe in what our eyes

Have told our hearts it so desires

It’s nothing but lies you see

A cunning enticement by the enemy

If I were never around, sadly it would be

Someone else who would take the place of me

No need to hide away

From these longings deep within

They are real, as true as it can be

Only the answer

Is not found in you nor in me

So why do I drink you in

Like a thirsty dying man

Why does my heart spin a tale

When our eyes meet afar to dance

Our flesh wars mightily

Aided by the strength of our enemy

Still by God’s love we stand

Planted in His victorious hand

Then one day soon the war will end

Our souls will finally rest

And we will live on in eternity

Under the purity of God’s best
