Although I love, I don’t agree Sometimes the heart – it just can’t see Beyond the sin, the iniquity Fleshly desires, taunting me. Although I love, I don’t agree with her She’s pointing the way, a connoisseur Of sin in this world, sin who will recur Again and again, appealing to concur Her sin, though often ignored Offers an evil that I cannot afford, Sin to silence the spirit, the Lord Who reminds me, this sin is abhorred. Although I love, I just don’t agree He is love, and His love is free Still yet, we must fall to our knee, Ask for mercy - HE hung on a tree! Although I love, I believe and obey Because He is the One to whom I pray He is the reason I know the way I ask forgiveness for sin that does prey. Her sin, though some may overlook This sin is written about in God’s book He is the judge, the truth she forsook I know He loves her – all her sin He took Although I love, I still know right from wrong. This heart He gave me, is soft yet strong When she tells me God’s word does not belong I follow the One who always sings the bible’s song. Although I love, I don’t feel like wrong is right And when she tells me that she must fight this fight I tell her that God’s Spirit lights the darkest night And, when she sins, if she could see past the delight… Although I love, my love doesn’t silence sin’s clever schemes Sin is at the heart of every evil but our God redeems… All we need to do is repent, because this sin isn’t what it seems. I love with all my heart and that is why I tell you about hell’s screams.
