Lust: My Eyes Are Up Here
by Jan Hughes

When you look at my body
with lust in your eyes,
You may think I am flattered,
but inside I cry.

I cry for your soul.
You've dishonored the Lord.
I cry for myself.
Am I not worth more?

More than reduction
to features and lines?
More than a thing
to be used in your mind?

Mind you, I know we all
battle with sin.
Mind you, I know
I'm a lady to Him.

To Him I turn
to heal the wound.
To Him I pray
your heart will change soon.

Soon, for those looks
deeply offend.
Soon, for your eyes speak of
you, me, and when.

When will you see why
I won't let your near?
When will you see that
my eyes are up here?

Titus 2:12, New Living Translation: "And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live life in this evil world with self-control, right conduct, and devotion to God."
