Mase_y. - Flee! Lyrics

"Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart."
2 Timothy 2 : 22 NIV

"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body."
1 Corinthians 6 : 18 NIV

(Flee!)

Honestly, I think I'd feel closer to God if I gouged out my eyes
Cause everything I'm seeing I'm perverting in my mind
What I look like calling God's daughters "fine"?
Only focused on her body, never her heart or her mind
Blessed God sent my girl to come and show me love
Still I'm wrestling with thoughts, make her like feel she ain't enough
Her body's the shell of her beauty, I can't see that with this lust
I don't wanna give in, man, this is getting tough

My purity's not the same
Lost my innocence, rottin' brain
Livin for pleasure, no care for the treasure
That's in her soul, what a shame
I've been tryin, I can't escape
Can't do it on my own, I need saved
Now I know to never say never, I wonder, can I measure
How deep is Your grace?

Run boy, run boy, run boy, run
Flee from temptation, run from this lust (flee!)
Run boy, run boy, run boy, run
Flee from temptation, run to the Son (flee!)
Run boy, run boy, run boy, run
Flee from temptation, run from this lust (flee!)
Run boy, run boy, run boy, run
Flee from temptation, run to the Son (fle-)

I've been here before, scrollin, fallin' down this rabbit hole
Put my phone down, feelin' empty, never comin' out of this whole
Coming to terms with all my thoughts, only God knows
I've been struggling, sickened by the man I am, but I don't wanna let it show
Jesus said, "...anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery...." (Matt. 5:28)
I'm an adulterer in my heart, God, I'm sorry
Physically, I'm clean, but my mind's so dirty
Please tell me You can save me, purify me, God, I'm mourning

My purity's not the same
Lost my innocence, rottin' brain
Livin for pleasure, no care for the treasure
That's in her soul, what a shame
I've been tryin, I can't escape
Can't do it on my own, I need saved
Now I know to never say never, I wonder, can I measure
How deep is Your grace?

Run boy, run boy, run boy, run
Flee from temptation, run from this lust (flee!)
Run boy, run boy, run boy, run
Flee from temptation, run to the Son (flee!)
Run boy, run boy, run boy, run
Flee from temptation, run from this lust (flee!)
Run boy, run boy, run boy, run
Flee from temptation, run to the Son (fle-)

Run, run, run, run
Flee from temptation, run from this lust (flee!)
Run, run, run, run
Flee from temptation, run to the Son (flee!)
Run, run, run, run
Flee from temptation, run from this lust (flee!)
Run, run, run, run
Flee from temptation, run to the Son (fle-)

"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
James 4 : 7 NIV
