"But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire" (2 Peter 2:22). "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
It's the nature of the dog
His vomit to desire;
It's the stature of the hog
To wallow in the mire.
It's the nature of the lost
To lust for the perverse,
And care not for the cost
That ransoms from the curse.
That's why our God imparts
A nature that is new;
And changes sinful hearts
To value what is true.
Love, then, not the world,
Nor follow its seduction
By which the lost are hurled
Into their own destruction.
