It's Not Mine to Give

One of my favorites...I share this one with some of the young ladies in my youth group and others I mentor!

It’s Not Mine To Give

Free your mind my brother for you are in over your head

My body is for me only...and not to be sleeping in your bed

I apologize if you thought this was all about you

But it's about the promise I made to God not a promise to my "boo"

So forgive me for being selfish and not willing to dare

But the love I have inside of me is for him whose last name I share

Yes I know you care about me and I am important to you too

But you don’t understand the holiness that I am going thru

See this is more than sharing something 'special' with me

This about my journey in life and not being compromising

I have to fight temptation and desires by all costs indeed

The reward in the end is what waters this old seed

See you don’t understand because your body controls you all day

My body is in check and my spirit is what guides the way

So take heed to these words and respect them or walk away

And a goodbye is in store if fornication is what will make you stay

So it's your choice... but my mind is made up on this issue

My body belongs to God, not myself... and definitely not you!
