MOMENTS OF WEAKNESS
In a moment of weakness a life is destroyed
When long tempting lusts are timely employed
When actions outweigh the strength within
A long fruitful career can certainly end
Lust births the lying mouth to hide the sin
Inside the denying convinces self with a fraudulent spin
Excuses, excuses constantly come all the while
Deceiving one’s self in total devilish style
A moment of weakness destroys with a desire within
A moment of weakness destroys to bring only merciless chagrin
A moment of weakness reveals one’s really true friends
A moment of weakness reveals who will be willing to make amends
For a moment of weakness there are fruits that will be bear
For a moment of weakness some will forsake you and some will set a snare
For a moment of weakness some will never forgive
For a moment of weakness some will never let you outlive
Brethren I offer this wisdom from God's word unto you
Brethren I offer this solution his word is so true
Never ever linger in the mind of your lust
Give your mind and thoughts into our God’s loving trust
Only through the Holy Spirit can our minds be contained
Only through the Holy Spirit can our spirits can be sustained
Only through the Holy Spirit can our souls be maintained
Only through the Holy Spirit can our wrong thoughts be abstained
Jesus is a friend who loves through his word and in deed
He understands our weakness and he and his word we must heed
For in a garden at the beginning of time life had began
For in a garden at the beginning of time God created man
Years later it was in a garden Jesus wept so sore
God incarnate in that garden was grieved and shook to the core
In that earthly moment his weakness did push at his soul
For his earthly body wanted to certainly stay whole
Yet he waged war against the thoughts that muster that fear
Fighting in the Spirit the death to which he would adhere
Through a night of torment enduring the illegal trials brought on by his peers
Knowing the day breaking would bring trials with vulgar haunting and hurting smears
Yet he knew in the garden his death would bring life
He battled with his flesh to resurrect the church that would be his wife
In just a moment of weakness he declared let this cup pass by
Yet he won that battle so our every need he can supply
Jesus our Savior he forgives and forgets
Jesus our Savior he will never use accusations or threats
Jesus our Savior will not make a coup d’état to bring you down
Jesus our Savior will make a way to pick you up with the grace to astound
When a moment of weakness appears with its demands
Fall on your knees with your face in your hands
Call on the Savior with all of your heart
Soon those sinful desires will begin to depart
Shalom, Agape, & Amen!
