There is a battle in my heart and in my mind:
A battle between two lords over my world.
Now one is very real and the other is very virtual.
One is my God and the other is *******,
And while I'd love to say “there's no contest”,
I just don't find myself accepting God's rest.
See God continuously offers me rest with His strength,
He continuously offers me leave,
But every time, I say “No. It's okay God, I've got this, leave it to me”.
And so He listens because that's who He is;
But every time it's left up to me,
I always find my way back to that image on a screen.
An image on a screen
Why is it so appealing?
Why does it draw my eye
When she is right by my side?
She and God should be all I desire
So why do I keep checking the screen like it will catch fire?
Moreover it's not an image that's real, it's an image that's fake.
Why can I remember her body, but I can't remember her face?
She must be a person like you and like me
So why do I treat her like a piece of meat:
To buy and sell and only use when “needed”?
This isn't how this woman ought to be treated.
She should be truly admired and truly loved
By one man not by men who the neck they can't see above.
So why don't you shut down the computer,
For it will only bring hurt to you and to her,
And realize that there is one right beside you who is more beautiful than a photo;
There is one right beside you who loves who you are not how deep your pockets go.
That is the kind of love that you should cherish and you should hold
Because that is the kind of love that never gets old.
That kind of love endures forever,
Because it is love that is blessed by God our Creator.
It's not some love that dies with a battery
And never again gives you anything satisfactory.
So again I say,
Put the computer away
And spend time with the one who truly cares
Because hers is the beauty that no one shares.
