In this we call the life of our desire,
Where beauty lies but cannot stand the heat,
For in this life we must not touch the fire,
And we should see our soul develop sweet;
But if in life we choose as St. Paul said,
To seek none but the flesh in all we do,
A bed not fit for man to lay his head,
Nor to his Lord and God to be so true.
Paul is the one that helps us find the way,
As Jesus struck him down in awesome light,
He learned to seek the Spirit all the day,
For that's the only way to get things right.
We have to make a choice in life at last,
To be not in the flesh, but Spirit cast.
