Once I walked the course,
that paved my way with sin
my steps were bound to take me
where Satan was sure to win.
I followed my own desires,
and lusted after even more
I strolled the streets of greed
and knocked on resentment’s door.
I pursued the work of darkness,
and ate up all the fame
I labored in the halls of envy
with covetous as my aim.
I ensued after my own pleasure,
with Satan beneath my feet
my gratification kept me marching
to his disobedient beat.
I became skillful in the world,
and paved a road for my delight
until I came upon a bridge
that exposed a saving light.
In the span of my awareness,
I saw just how ugly I became
and it was at this very moment
I felt the sting of my own shame.
Oh, how grateful now I am,
to be saved by that connection.
now my path is paved and planed
with God’s design and intention.

Galatians 5:17
King James Version
“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh:
and these are contrary the one to the other:
so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”
