I flirted with sin,
Even though I was already taken.
I’d made my vows then,
And I planned to keep them.
Sin flirted back, an affair
I didn’t mean to ask for.
Now sin owns me; I can’t bear
to go on anymore!
Oh, my Lord, by Sin I’ve been marred!
I meant forever when I said it,
I didn’t mean for it to go this far!
Now I’m heading for the pit,
Only You can save me,
Only You make me clean!
I fall to my knees
And watch the sin flee!
Your saving power is incredible!
My face is on the floor,
My heart, filled
With Your love once more.
I can’t contain it within me –
Thank You for Your love,
Thank You for Your mercy,
Both from You above!
There will be a part two to this next week, so stay tuned! ❤
AMEN!

Your post is remarkably on the same theme as my post “Spiritual Adultery”. Very interesting. God is working here. 🙂
