All things are lawful [that is, morally legitimate, permissible], but not all things are beneficial or advantageous. All things are lawful, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life]. (1 Corinthians 10:23, AMP)
Why fill our hearts and minds
With what doesn’t edify
And doesn’t help our spirits grow
To be truly unified
What we believe in our minds
We should believe in our hearts
So we will speak with sincerity
What the word of God imparts
For as we meditate on it
It will wash over our minds
So our thinking will become Christ-like
Leaving worldly thoughts behind
For we can develop the mind of Christ
When on the word we feed
But we need to move on from infant milk
To the solids that we need
It’s then our spirits can truly grow
And our minds can be transformed
To this world and its worldly ways
We no longer are conformed
But we’re conformed to Jesus Christ
And we walk in step with Him
We desire Him above all else
And have His life within
