SAVE YOUR LOVE
Lyrics by Mickey Turner

LYRICS
​(Verse 1)
he will lead you on with his pickup lines
and say the words, I want to make you mine
he will hold you close, make you feel so fine
then pressure you to lay it on the line

(Pre-chorus)
don’t give it up, don’t lose control
respect yourself and just say no

(Chorus)
you are not a toy for pleasure’s sake
so turn it down and walk away
you’re unshakeable and unafraid
to save your love for the wedding day

(Verse 2)
she will lead you on with seductive lies
and make you weak  with those bedroom eyes
she will say the words, baby it’s okay
to have some fun so let’s go all the way

(Pre-chorus)
don’t give it up, don’t lose control
respect yourself and just say no

(Chorus)
you are not a toy for pleasure’s sake
so turn it down and walk away
you’re unshakeable and unafraid
to save your love for the wedding day

(Bridge)
love is patient and love is kind
true love waits and takes the time
to honor you  in every way
free from guilt and all the pain

(Chorus)
you are not a toy for pleasure’s sake
so turn it down and walk away
you’re unshakeable and unafraid
to save your love for the wedding day

LYRICAL THOUGHT
Sex  is an aspect of love however,  true love does not use sex as a pawn or toy for its own self gratification. You see, true love is not rude but rather patient and kind.  It does not demand its own way, it waits.  True love honors and respects the gift of sex.  It does not cheapen it for pleasure’s sake.  Sex is a beautiful thing but is reserved for marriage.  It is a true love offering shared between a husband and wife, a physical expression of intimacy and delight when two become one.   With this in mind, save your love offering and keep it untainted, ready for the wedding day.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT
** It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality...
(I Thessalonians 4:3)

** Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.  Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price.  So you must honor God with your body.  (I Corinthians 6:18-20)

**For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil.  But in the end she is as bitter as poison, as dangerous as a double-edged sword. Stay away from her!  Don’t go near the door of her house!  If you do, you will lose your honor… Why be captivated, my son, by an immoral woman…  (Proverbs 5:3, 4, 8, 9, 20) 

**Love is patient and kind.  Love is not…rude.  It does not demand its own way… (I Corinthians 13:4-5)
