Your Word defines the narrow way,
The path of light where truth must stay;
You call our hearts to flee from sin,
To walk in purity and glorify your name.
In Scripture You have drawn the line
Where sin destroys Your grand design;
So teach us, Lord, to guard our hearts
And live the life You’ve wisely planned.
Adultery breaks the vows we make,
Fornication wounds the love You shape;
Unnatural acts distort Your plan –
Your image placed in man and woman.
Incest defiles the trust You gave,
Abuse cries out from hearts You save;
And violence done by lust and might
Brings darkness where you wanted light.
“Uncovering nakedness”— your word makes plain
Is sexual sin that shames Your name;
But “seeing nakedness” is not the same –
It speaks of honor, guilt, and shame.
When Ham “saw” his father’s nakedness
He mocked Noah and exposed his shame;
It wasn’t lust or sin of fleshly kind –
But dishonor and irreverence that cursed his line.
As Shem and Japhet in reverence
Covered their father’s nakedness;
They covered his shame with their backs toward him –
To protect his honor and his name.
Before Your eyes we’re naked still,
Our shame exposed, our sins laid bare;
Yet you remove our guilt and shame
And clothe us with your righteousness.
Naked we stand but you forgive;
Your grace restores, Your mercies live;
Clothe in Your robe, forever clean –
A people pure, by love redeemed.
Teach us, O Lord, to honor You –
In what we think, in all we do;
And may our lives forever be
A witness to your purity.
