Sexual Healing

Lyrics

So let's look at this subject; I'mma tell you why I'm disgusted
 So tonight, looks like sex will be our topic of discussion
 Now see, sex isn't evil, for marriage is why God made it
 But I know you're like, "Come on, man, that's too outdated!
 This is 2011, bro; we do it for recreation
 And hey, if you're in college, you do it while you're wasted"
 But I wanna question this logic, I wanna pop off the seal
 I wanna question something that we think is already a done deal
 So take a rape victim, for example, and once it's revealed
 When her bruises go away, is she totally healed?
 No, the damage is lasting; you can see it in her eyes
 But if it was just abused recreation, why did it ruin her life?
 I mean, if sex is just for fun, why does it take such a toll?
 Maybe it's 'cause you don't just have sex with a body; you have sex with a soul
 Which means for me, there ain't no premarital lovin'
 And it ain't just because I don't want a baby in the oven
 It's because I'm staying pure until the day that I'm a husband
 But see, this wasn't always me, that's a guarantee
 Let's go back in the past, see who I used to be
 Now, growing up, I never learned how to treat a lady
 If I learned one thing from my dad, it was "leave the mom, ditch the baby"
 Now, I don't say that to get sympathy; I say that to be real
 Because according to stats, about 40% of you know how that feels
 So I let the TV show me what the music already told me
 No dad at home, so I was letting MTV mold me
 And they sold me, which is why my life revolved around what girl I could get next
 My life revolved around this girl named "sex"
 Sure, I'd get at her on the text, but I've got to confess
 It seems the longer we dated, the bigger the mess
 But then, my girlfriend was late on that time of the month
 If you know what I mean, you'll understand when I say my heart sunk
 I started to think about abortion, man; I started to butter it up
 But it's funny they don't make condoms for sin; you can't just cover it up
 It was just a scare, but I knew a father I don't wanna be
 It's funny how I was pro-life until it happened to me
 So dudes, think twice before you desire her just 'cause she's hot
 'Cause the truth is, your body makes a promise whether you do or not
 Sorry I digress, though; let's get back to the topic
 How there's some dudes who pressure her even when she says, "Stop it!"
 You're not a man; you're just a boy that can shave, and you put on a good cover
 'Cause if you don't respect her when she says no, you certainly don't love her
 So how about you start studying her heart and stop studying her booty?
 Or maybe invest the same amount of time in her that you do in Call of Duty
 'Cause what makes you think you can get this girl and all of a sudden get naughty?
 'Cause you should have to touch her heart and her mind first before you ever touch her body
 'Cause she longs to be accepted; she longs to be loved
 So she gives herself up to another guy's lust
 She thinks it feels good at first, but then she gets bitter
 'Cause the promise of satisfaction — it never delivers
 She's like, "I don't want to," but it's just too tempting
 So she keeps opening up the present just to find that it's empty
 And then she starts to get confused
 She keeps getting rejected by all these dudes
 They tell her on a scale of ten, she's a two
 But that ain't true
 If she only knew that Jesus — He loves and accepts us
 Even when you don't want Him, He'll never reject us
 He heals us from that sin that totally infects us
 And He does what condoms can't: He emotionally protect us
 And I know some of you hearing this are gonna want to indict me
 But we gotta think rightly, so I'll ask politely
 Can you really say this isn't even true, just slightly?
 I mean, we touched the forbidden fruit not to realize it's poison ivy
 And now we're numb and we're itching, and we've got a distorted psyche
 You don't think; you just do it, like your name was Nike
 Not realizing that the consequences of your actions are oh so pricey
 So this last story, though, is for those who think they're too dirty
 This last story is for those who think they're unworthy
 Read John chapter eight, the woman caught in adultery
 The religious leaders throw her naked in the temple while she yells, "Don't murder me!"
 They say, "Jesus, the Law commands us to stone this woman"
 And you hear the hate in their tone
 Jesus pauses and then says, "Whoever is without sin, you can cast the first stone"
 I mean, can you imagine the sound? Silence all around
 You hear footsteps walk away, you hear stones hit the ground
 And then Jesus kneels down; the woman thought it was her demise
 He lifts up her face; you see the grace in His eyes
 He says, "I don't condemn you; go and sin no more
 I love you. I accept you. Mercy is yours"
 But if you're anything like me, you're like, "No, that can't be!
 Why would He ever die for me?"
 See, but then I saw that scene where I was redeemed
 He reached out and touched me, and said, "Jeff, you're free"
 Instantly, I was wearing the brightest robe I'd ever seen
 I was perfectly spotless; I was perfectly clean
 So bright, in fact, man, I thought I'd go blind
 I said, "Whose this is?" He said, "Actually, it's mine"
 So think twice before you eat what society feeds us
 Come follow the King; His name is Jesus
