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” brings us face to face with some of the most uncompromising words Jesus ever spoke.

Let us look at what the Word of God says:

> “If your right eye causes you to stumble, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.

> And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.”

> — Matthew 5:29–30 (ESV)

These words are not comfortable. They are not sentimental. They cut across the grain of a soft, easy, compromise-oriented Christianity. Jesus is confronting us with the deadly seriousness of sin—particularly sexual sin—and the eternal consequences that are attached to it.

Linked with these, the song draws from other key passages:

“Flee from sexual immorality…” (1 Corinthians 6:18)

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit…?” (1 Corinthians 6:19–20)

“Set your minds on things above…” (Colossians 3:2)

“…if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” (Romans 8:13)

The central theme is this:

God calls us to radical, decisive, practical action in the pursuit of purity, because sin is far more serious than we naturally believe and eternity is far more real than we naturally feel.

Jesus is not calling us to mutilate our bodies. He is calling us to take ruthless, uncompromising measures against anything that leads us into sin. This is spiritual surgery, not physical mutilation.

2. The Historical & Biblical Context

Matthew 5:29–30 appears in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus is teaching His disciples in the presence of the crowds (Matthew 5:1–2). He is describing the righteousness of the kingdom of God, which “exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees” (Matthew 5:20).

In this section He has just spoken about 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
