Be Not of This World

What kind of nut speaks like this for what does it even mean And so this point you shall miss in not knowing the unseen You're now stuck in the here so worried about the present Spinning around on a sphere saved only by God's Son sent The effects covering your entire soul yet this you can't see Sin has a treacherous toll by keeping you from being free Satan has you in his pocket and you try not to even flee He knows exactly what you let and on what you'll agree Be not of this place and all of it's ungodly wicked ways Join not in satans disgrace but instead one who obeys Don't be of his material things and deceitful temptation All the self shame that brings in present contemplation No, be not of this world among all of those who are lost With His Salvation Unfurled you need not pay this cost He paid it full for you in suffering and dying for your sin Do as you want to, but why would you allow satan to win 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
