Lyrics

If your right eye leads you into sin Tear it out and throw it away It’s better to lose one part of your body Than for your whole body to be thrown into hell And if your right hand causes you to stumble Cut it off and cast it from you Better one part lost than the whole in the fire If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell Run from sexual immorality Every other sin a person commits is outside the body But this one sins against your own body Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you Honor God with your body, keep it pure and clean Flee the temptation—don’t linger near the flame If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell Set your mind on things above, not earthly desires Put to death whatever belongs to your sinful nature Lust, impurity, evil passions in your heart Take every thought captive, make it obey Christ Guard your eyes, guard your heart, stay on the narrow way Radical steps for a life that’s set apart If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell Jesus isn’t calling us to mutilate our frame He’s showing how deadly sin truly became The cost is eternal, the danger is real So hate sin enough to cut off what steals By His Spirit and grace we can walk in the light Turn away, run to Him—He gives power to fight If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell Take drastic measures to keep your soul safe Remove what tempts you, no matter the ache Eternity’s weight far outweighs the cost Choose holiness now—whatever is lost He’ll give you strength to live pure and free If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell

Devotional & Insight

1. The Foundation (Introduction)

“Radical Steps to Purity” centers on one of the most searching demands Jesus ever made of His disciples.

Let us look at what the Word of God says:

> “If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away.

> It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

> And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away.

> It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.”

> — Matthew 5:29–30

Alongside this, the song rightly links Jesus’ words with the apostolic commands:

> “Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

> Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?

> You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.

> So glorify God in your body.”

> — 1 Corinthians 6:18–20

> “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.”

> — Colossians 3:2

> “Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.”

> — Colossians 3:5

The theme is unmistakable:

Purity is not optional, and dealing with sin—especially sexual sin—requires radical, decisive action. Jesus exposes the deadly nature of sin and demands that we value eternal destiny above temporary comfort.

This teaching is not for the casual believer. It is for those who are serious about holiness, deliverance, and walking in the fear of the Lord.

2. The Historical & Biblical Context

Matthew 5:29–30 comes from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), where Jesus sets forth the charter of His Kingdom. He is not speaking to pagans, but to His disciples and the crowds following Him—people already interested in God and the Law.

In Matthew 5:27–28, Jesus has just addressed adultery:

> “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

> But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
