Surrender

The ability to see right from wrong has become a long faded trait
So neither do we thirst or long as it's ourselves we try to placate
Anyone can justify anything turning around in calling wrong right
But they just forgot one thing that it's God's Law that they fight

They didn't forget about His Word they just choose not to follow it  
Going upon things that they had heard and never willing to admit
Instead they decided to make up new laws tossing His Laws aside
Just as satan tried deleting one clause and all because of his pride

I've done it before myself and I still do it for none of us are perfect
Looking at your spiritual health and how it's suffered from neglect
Only the Truth will survive for this time the Lord is coming to judge
Perhaps spiritually dead though alive with no plans to ever budge

You will not change out of fear for you can only change out of love
Changing when the Lord is near in starting to see things from above 
Where can you get this ability in so being draw near to what is right
The ability to clearly see comes when in Him you surrender this fight

James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. 
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James 4:10 - Humble yourselves in the sight of 
the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Proverbs 23:26 - My son, give me thine heart, 
and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Psalms 33: For the word of the LORD is right; 
and all his works are done in truth.
