Television Is a Catalyst

Present day film presents sex and love Sordid spectacle spectators enjoy Children peep at obscene scene, soon it Comes back in their inward eye, altering Swiftly their feel and what they seem to need Even the world and how they see it And just when no one is on their way In pairs, young ones defile their being Making a shame of virginity She's thirteen and looks so sweet Peter comes around tries if she's cheap If she's carried away, Oh what sweet a tea Perhaps Paul can enjoy, even Tim But this is not the way of the Lord “All my friends drink, take drugs Have sex, slur and steal” But why not dare to stand alone? And be Jesus’ pride, for your sins he atone Why not pride in a spotless gown An untouched woman is a man's covert dream No man eats his cake and has it Patience avails much Even the preacher had made it clear- There is a time for everything Our bodies a sacrifice must be Holy and pleasing unto our king Undefiled and innocent as baby new A pure self is honourable in all Haven't you heard that AIDS is real? And that Abstinence is the best remedy Television is a catalyst It has increased the sexual pressure in men.

Here here here. THIS IS SO TRUE!! But sadly, even here I doubt many practice this way of thinking (I've noticed many Christians no longer save themselves for marriage,I don't know why not, but it just faded out with the times) lUv, Andrea
