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.
