First Thoughts

Temptation thoughts do come,

rebuke the thoughts and they are gone.

When you succumb to second thoughts,

they become your sin.

Sin is thoughts beyond the first,

dwell not upon the thoughts that come.

Do not act upon those thoughts,

that becomes your sin.

There is no sin when rejected,

that first thought that came.

Be not condemned by first thoughts,

the sin has not prevailed.

Temptation has no power,

over you who love the Lord.

Dwell upon the things of Him,

let sin condemn you not.
