Glorifying God
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
All things are lawful for me,
But never will dominate;
For what God wants I will be,
Heaven bound to seal my fate.
My stomach is meant for food,
God will destroy another;
Those with a bad attitude,
When evil to each other.
Your body belongs to God,
Not sexual desires;
Consider no lusty flawed,
Causing immoral fires.
The Father had raised the Lord,
By His power will raise us;
For to be in one accord,
To be in Heaven as thus.
Your body is part of Christ,
Not a part of a harlot;
God forbid to be enticed,
By a young sexy starlet.
For one flesh will come from two,
With a harlot becomes joined;
When you sexually pursue,
Committing to be conjoined.
But whoever joins the Lord,
With Him becomes one spirit;
And will be of one accord,
Shares what you will inherit.
Flee from immorality,
From sinful fornication;
Avoiding iniquity,
Of self-glorification.
Your body is a temple,
A place for the Holy Ghost;
One of the chosen people,
Part of the heavenly host.
For you were bought with a price,
So that you glorify God;
Your body to sacrifice,
While you honor and laud.
