How many times have I lusted after people? Treating them as objects though I’ve wished to love them - Lord forgive me the way that I considered them no regard for their true self only for outer form - How insidious is the view of lust where love divine and greedy desire meet! - Oh Lord may others beware the pit of lust mistaken for love! - I’d thought that it was love I had so lost was I in my ways - How lost I was yet now I see I see and I repent - Lord forgive me have mercy upon me and set me free!

Lust Past
How many times have I lusted after people? Treating them as objects though I’ve wished to love them - Lord forgive me the way that I considered them no regard for their true self only for outer form - How insidious is the view of lust where love divine and greedy desire meet! - Oh Lord may others beware the pit of lust mistaken for love! - I’d thought that it was love I had so lost was I in my ways - How lost I was yet now I see I see and I repent - Lord forgive me have mercy upon me and set me free!
