Only to Mar

by Raydene Nash

Who yet the devil can make me his?
In all immorality, fornication, and lust,
Yet the devil in this me would kiss,
He'd make it feel like a wanton must.

Am I that lustrous that I should be his?
I'm not his to keep-only to mar
The perfection that Jesus is,
Since I am sort of in a way scarred.

How long could I capture the devil's gaze,
Cause Someone high and lofty won't break His.
Will I bring the sacrifice of praise,
Then blaspheme His Spirit after this?

Not that I would intend to blaspheme,
I've got one piece of the devil's loot.
I have inspiration of a lustful theme,
Yet Christ's work in me is absolute.
