Sinful Nature

God He loves you oh so much
He wants to forgive your sin
He wants to turn your life around
So just invite Him in.

He does not want to hurt you
But restore and to heal
And what He longs to give to you
Is eternally so real.

Does your life seem like a battle
A tormentor living within
No matter how hard you seem to try
This predator seems to win.

This predator sinful nature
Lives in all mankind
Its very strong and opposes God
It wants to rule your mind.

This sin that grips your life so tight
It's impossible for you to fight alone
The victory for us has already been won
Don't fight it on your own.

Ask Jesus in your life today
And completely be set free
No more in bondage by that sin
For all eternity.

Excellent! Full of truth and inspiration, Leon! Hope you read some of my poems! Hold on to your faith it is that 'pearl' that Our Lord spoke about-the parable went- the man sold all his possessions to obtain that pearl! Peace and love, Audrey
