We gaze at darkened skies with dim-lit-lights.
And see Sun and Moon beaming so bright.
But none compares to God’s Amazing Son–
The Light of the World born in human flesh.
He’s God’s Morning Star we must confess.
Rather than relish in sin, He passed the test.
He bore our shame—we should have felt,
Beaten and bruised by a flesh ripping belt.
They buried his body—now risen from Earth.
Now we can experience our second birth.
He promised the Spirit given from Heaven.
His kingdom will rise like dough with leaven.
He invites everyone in: no matter their status.
We enter this Kingdom without works, but gratis.
Will you know His love that’s beyond degree?
He’s our only hope, our joy, and perfect plea.
No Greater Light exists that out shines His Life.

Would you be pleased, if you contracted a sexual disease?
Does your guilty conscience of sin leave you empty within?
Were your lovers betrayed, leaving them bitter and dismayed?
Are you worried about her pregnancy, fearing a child’s infancy?
What’s to say about your infidelity, leading to incompatibility?
Your mate might be resentful, leaving you somewhat fretful.
Your choice for an abortion, leads to despiteful destruction.
Your willingness to ignore propriety, results in a deviant society.
You’re tangled in guilt, but God knows how you are built.
Sin is fun for a season, but sex it’s meant for a divine reason.
Intercourse fits holy matrimony, with a sobering ceremony.
You can live without fears, and stop the misery and tears.
Someone loves you dearly, through every calendar yearly.
Jesus purifies minds throughout time, who knew no crime.
He who renews the soul makes men and women whole.
Ask for the Holy Spirit freely, and experience life joyfully!
Sex feels pleasurable, but marriage makes it honorable.
