Lose the Lust

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world... 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" (1 John 2:15-17).

Love not the world, God's Word has said,
For the lust of it passes and shall not abide.
O how much better to love Christ instead,
Losing the worldly lust and its pride!
