Galatians 6:7-8
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Ring around your eyes ... I guess you did not sleep much.
Is it because the thoughts of man or is your conscience at steak?
Is it the opinion of your fellowman or the grieving of the Spirit?
Is that what keeps you from sleeping and keeps you wide awake?
What makes you feel so sad ... is it when you get caught?
In the webs that you are weaving to secure your way of life?
Well guy we all have been there ... in actions and thought
Now we reap what we sowed in the memories of our wives.
Yes we’ll not escape it ... yes the harm is always there.
Even when forgiven ... it stays around like a heavy load.
We think everyone knows where we stumbled and fell
The Lord is gracious as we’re oft the only ones to know.
Is it not a wonder ... that He paid the price in full?
The price tag around our neck was marked about “Zippo”
But He paid a fortune ... lifting us from the smelly pool
That we polluted by self-wheeling and dealing incognito.
Getting by does not make things right
Not being caught is not a blessing.
The road to hell seems paved inside
By greed for what you think you’re missing.
