God Over Porn (Spoken Word Lyrics)

Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.
It’s the sound that your mouse makes
When you press play on that pornographic video clip
You’ve been browsing the web from the time you got home
Til about 3 or 4 o clock in the morning
Desperately searching for the next hit flick you click

Thinking to yourself
Let me go grab a towel or something / In case I get caught up in masturbation
Or / this website is trippin if they think they’re getting my credit card information
These free 30 second trailers / Just ain’t long enough
Let me fast forward a little bit / I like the part when they get a little rough

It’s interesting
How with over 4.2 million pornographic websites found online
Your lust seems to never get satisfied

The truth / Is that lust
Will take you further / Than you wanted to go
Keep you longer / Than you intended to stay
Cost you more / Than what you were willing to pay
I should know / Because this addiction had a grip on me for almost a decade

Yeah / That’s right
No more secrets / I’ma be transparent today
For years / Porn has ruined my life / Exciting my flesh / But causing a spiritual decay
And if I’m not mistaken / It all started in the middle of 7th grade

But Hey / That’s common though / Right?
Because the largest group of those who view porn online / Are from the ages of 12 to 17.
And I / Was around 13 / So according to this statistic / I was somewhere in between

It’s not that I wanted this addiction / But / Those images
They downloaded from the computer screen
Importing themselves deep down into my carnal being
Infiltrating my thoughts with all sorts of lustful dreams
And now I can’t / Now I can’t / Now I can’t shake / What I have seen
Because every familiar person / Every familiar place / Every familiar thing
Reminds me of another scene

I thought I was the only one
But as Scriptures points out / There’s nothing new under the sun
Over 11 million teens regularly view porn
Some say they do it because they’re lonely or bored / Looking to fulfill a relational void
While others say they do it just for fun

Yet / There is nothing fun / About not being able to fun-ction / In school
You can’t even focus, AND/OR concentrate, because
BUTTS are always on your mind / And I’m not talking about the conjunction

It’s a dysfunction / When all of your time is spent feeding your flesh
As if you were at an all-you-can-eat luncheon
Porn / is your choice of junk food / And you are nothing more than a sexual glutton

Through seduction / You have been ensnared
Into a world wide web / full of moral corruption
And you’ve been blinded / By the deception of the sex industry
Who has packaged its lies on shelves / And have sold them to you with glits and glamour
Porn / Is nothing more than a commercialized production

What you see on the screen / Doesn’t properly depict
What takes place behind the scenes
It’s obscene / The way that men treat women as if they were sexual objects
As if they were less than human beings
In fact / in their eyes / Women aren’t human at all / they’re merely figurines

But don’t let their curvaceous and well-sculpted bodies fool you.
Because many of them / Have undergone countless operations of plastic surgery
And it’s sickening / How the industry is like a pimp / Tied directly to human trafficking
Tricking teenage girls onto sets / That are hardcore / Extreme / Degrading

You can see them gagging while giving oral sex
And crying while filming orgies / But due to their Kodak smiles
You can’t discern their inward screaming

Porn is so unclean
Over 66% of porn stars have herpes / A non-curable disease
And of them, 207 have died prematurely
From AIDS, drugs, suicide and homicide / Since the year 2014

But Scriptures foretell this / That the wages of sin would be death
And since all have sinned
From the porn producers / To the actors / To the addicts
That means that death / Has legal access to us all / Unless

Unless someone saves us
So worthy is the lamb of God / Who was slain for our transgressions
On the cross / There was an exchange
Our sins / For his perfection
He died / So that we may live
A new life / Through the resurrection

Now forgiveness / Is made available / To anyone who would make this confession
That Jesus Christ is Lord / And the author of salvation

So repent / Believe / And accept God’s Grace
Lay aside every weight and sin / That so easily besets you from running this race

Cast down every imagination / And every high thing
That exalts itself against your knowledge of the Higher Being
Bring every thought under captivity / Especially those with sexual activity
Make a covenant with your heart and your eyes / Not to look at anyone lustfully

I know what some of you may be thinking
The struggle is real / and the flesh weak / But the Spirit is willing
So don’t give in to porn / I’m telling you it’s unfulfilling
Lust can only offer you a temporary bliss
But love / If you let it / can offer you so much more than this
You will never find satisfaction by going online
Lusting after someone else’s sister / Mother / Or Daughter
Only Jesus Christ can quench your thirst / You see / He’s the Living Water

Porn is a Killer Fantasy / And in this poem you’ve been forewarned
So the next time you’re tempted to watch it / Choose God Over Porn.
