Do not let your eye rule your heart

 Do not let your eye rule your heart, 

Eyes have devoured many souls, 

Lust not after the desire of eyes, 

Hades is attached to its core.

If the light that's in you is darkness, 

How great that darkness must be,

He judges us by our thoughts,

How can you and I flee?

Not by our action but by grace,

That's the way we can prevail,

Fruit of flesh shall always fail,

Fruit of the spirit shall prevail.

The second Adam came to fulfil,

Where first Adam had failed,

All that failed in the garden of Eden,

In the garden of Gethsemane prevailed.

Sweat turned into blood, 

Tears dropped down his face,

Not my will but thine be done,

He stood for all as one.

One offering single and complete,

One offering that can never fail,

Eden and its bane,

In the place of the skull, didst fail.

Note: The poem talks about God's love. It talks about Christ's suffering in the Gethsemane and His victory over Sins on the cross.

Samson Iyanda Wonderful! He reigns and He is alive. So many wonderful lines. I just love it all. What can I do, than to praise His wonderful name? God bless you Reginold for sharing. Jide Cares. Nigeria 03/06/2015 2:24 PM

Rajeev Nair Great poem about God's victory on earth. Really like the lines: "All that failed in the garden of Eden, In the garden of Gethsemane prevailed." I think this is a very appropriate Easter poem as well. I will be writing a poem for Easter as well. Wishes friend, Respect, Rajeev.
