I set out on writing a song that emphasises that Jesus is my joy and strength, because when I have the joy of Jesus in my heart, temptation is greatly reduced. From this I put my experience in this song.
I must admit, I wrote this song for me, but hope others may also enjoy it.
God Bless

"Forbidden Fruit" by KunzyPoet
I don't believe the devil's lies no more
He tries to sell his forbidden fruit
that is rotten to the core
It destroys your joy,
takes all your strength
It turns a man into a selfish boy
the excitement you think you'll gain
Is short lived, then you're back
To life with its pain
So you take it again
And again, the rotten fruit
That you continue to crave
Only the truth sets you free
And now I believe
Jesus is my joy
Jesus is my strength
Addiction gives little
Then drains all you have
But that's all over
I'm now sober
I'm God's man
And I'm never turning back
Now you're angry, defeated and weak
Obsessed with searching for more
Forbidden fruit to eat
But it now doesn't meet
The pain in your soul
You need more and more just to breathe
I'm going to tell you the plain simple truth
Your depression comes
From the rotten fruit
But I have good news
You can kick this thing
And face life with Jesus,
what do you have to lose?
Only the truth sets you free
And now I believe
Jesus is my joy
Jesus is my strength
Addiction gives little
Then drains all you have
But that's all over
I'm now sober
I'm God's man
And I'm never turning back
Jesus is my joy
Jesus is my strength
Addiction gives little
Then drains all you have
But that's all over
I'm now sober
I'm God's man
And I'm never turning back
I've tasted the power of joy
And I saw
I don't desire my addictions
no more
When temptations come my way
All I have to say
Is Jesus is my joy,
Jesus is my strength
Nothing will stop me being free again
Jesus is my joy
Jesus is my strength
Addiction gives little
Then drains all you have
But that's all over
I'm now sober
I'm God's man
And I'm never turning back
Jesus is my joy
Jesus is my strength
Addiction gives little
Then drains all you have
But that's all over
I'm now sober
I'm God's man
And I'm never turning back
