Sinful pleasure

Sinful pleasure
Is here and gone
In what seems like a breath
It disappears like the dawn
So why do we cling
To what does not last
Why do we crave
Unable to fast

Few there be 
That walk in life
Preferring destruction 
Broad roads strife
Oh come oh come
Immanuel
Teach us how to 
In thee dwell

For love of thee
And for no other reason
Teach us to give up
Our daily treason 
Against the Kingdom
Of the living God
Kiss us with truth
Let us no longer defraud
