Guard Your Eyes From Temptation
Guard Your Eyes!
Have you been captured
the temptations of your eyes?
Things you once held as true and
wholesome… You now despise?
Have you been “captured”
by an outward beauty?
Thereby neglecting your
God-given duty?
Has your life been consumed with
sin's all-consuming fire?
With an uncontrollable appetite
and an lustful desire?
In your heart, is the Holy Spirit
an uninvited guest?
No wonder your life is turning
into such a mess!
Your head is filled with fantasies
and temptations of every kind.
You pretend on the outside. But you've
lost control of your mind.
For your sin, you’ve only yourself to blame.
Now's the time to repent!
And call on Jesus' name!
Though your sins black…
They can white as snow!
Only Jesus can be true peace and
satisfaction to your soul!
