Matthew 5:27-32
Adultery
Something that adults do?
Not a bit of it
Try the other shoe
I love the origin of things
Find out where they come from
The key idea the kernel
So that we can learn from
Adultery comes from adulterate
To pollute or to defile
To mix a stranger element
That corrupts the simple style
And so our pure relationships
Are damaged and destroyed
When we attempt to mix ourselves
In what we should avoid
The origin of everything
Is in the human heart
And that’s where Jesus concentrates
The aiming of his dart
Examine your heart both night and day
For lust and greed therein
And pray the Lord to free you
From the ravages of sin
The Lord promotes an honest life
Avoid what is deceit
Avoid exploiting anyone
That is a defeat
Do not fear the sexual
Understand its place
Rejoice in true relationships
Promote the human race
