Heart of Purity

You have heard the ancient command “Do not commit adultery” But I tell you something deeper now Anyone who looks at a woman with lust Has already committed adultery with her Deep in his heart You have heard that it was said, “You shall not commit adultery” But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully Has already committed adultery with her in his heart If your right eye causes you to stumble Gouge it out and throw it away It’s better to lose one part of you Than for your whole body to be thrown into hell If your right hand leads you to sin Cut it off—drastic measures for a pure heart You have heard that it was said, “You shall not commit adultery” But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully Has already committed adultery with her in his heart Flee from sexual immorality Every other sin is outside the body But this one harms your very soul Keep your heart with all diligence For out of it flow the springs of life Guard your eyes, guard your mind, stay pure You have heard that it was said, “You shall not commit adultery” But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully Has already committed adultery with her in his heart The old law touched the act, but Jesus sees the thought He calls us higher—to holiness we never bought Only by His Spirit can we walk this narrow road Clean hands, pure heart, carrying His lighter load Turn away, look to Him, let grace renew your mind True freedom waits for those who leave the old behind You have heard that it was said, “You shall not commit adultery” But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully Has already committed adultery with her in his heart God wants more than outward rules kept He wants hearts fully surrendered, fully kept Purity begins inside, where only He can see By His power we live clean and walk free You have heard that it was said, “You shall not commit adultery” But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully Has already committed adultery with her in his heart
