But I don’t want to be another sinner
Holding a tall glass of champagne,
Wearing a look of fine happiness, when I’m truly feeling shame
I don’t want to hide my behavior behind the foolish acts of others
To blame all my thoughtless mistakes on the heads of my fellow sisters and brothers
I don’t want my body to betray me
At night when the air is thick, moist and sweet
When my body heat rises and I feel sensations down to my feet
Toss my hair to the side of my neck
As I feel a warm hand sliding down….
Who wants to wake up the next morning, too dirty to ever be clean
And then laugh in the face of the devil, claiming: ‘It’s in the Lord that I lean!’
I don’t want my face to hide the effects of my unknown dismay
I want instead to call faithfully on His holy name
Can’t you see that what I’m asking
Is not a wayward thing
You can’t achieve in a second, or find it in a ring
To be a true bearer of his name, an adornment to my king.
I say: ‘Farewell, to lost sleepless nights, when temptations are riding high
‘Good Rid dins to one night stands, to waking up to strangers who left me behind
For the Lord has called for me a much greater plan, and he needs me on demand.
Are you living blindly? Your heart aching for more?
Then ask Jesus for His guidance, and show Satan to the door.
