Do not love the world,
nor the things in or of it
for, to your soul . . .
there’s no lasting benefit.
For, the world’s full of pride,
promoting fleshly lust
to its godless customs
you mustn’t ever adjust.
Do not become a part,
of the world’s ways
do not on its sinful desires
let your heart set its gaze.
For, if you do you’ll find,
it’s so easy to conform
as the world’s proven to be
satan’s earthly platform.
Do not love the world,
for it is perishing . . .
there is nothing in it
worth you cherishing!
~~~~~~~
“Love not the world,
neither the things
that are in the world.
If any man love the world,
the love of the Father
is not in him.
For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father,
but is of the world.
And the world passeth away,
and the lust thereof:
but he that doeth the will
of God abideth for ever.”

That is ever so true.
This world I do not love
but I do love you
For you are born from above.
