Verse 1:\nThere’s nothing I must crave or touch,\nIf it’s harmful, it’s simply too much.\nCancer? Too expensive—I can't afford,\nNot with this temple made for the Lord. (1 Cor. 6:19–20)\nThey say “it’s fun,” they say “it’s cool,”\nBut I won’t be played—I know the rule.\nIf it won't glorify God's name,\nI walk away, I’m not ashamed.\n---\nChorus:\nI can’t afford what kills my peace,\nOr steals my joy or makes grace cease.\nCancer, gossip, pride, and pain—\nAddiction running through my veins.\nIf it’s not clean, if it’s not pure,\nI close the door—I’m secure.\nSin is costly, truth is my sword,\nIf it’s not pleasing to the Lord—\nThen I can’t afford, I can’t afford!\n---\nVerse 2:\nBitterness? A heavy chain.\nLust and lies? A soul’s great drain.\nEnvy, anger, greed, and hate—\nAll too pricey—they seal fate.\nWhat profits me to gain the world,\nAnd lose my soul in what’s unfurled? (Mark 8:36)\nThis body’s His, I’ve made my vow,\nNo poison passed my lips from now.\n---\nChorus Repeat\n---\nBridge:\nHoliness is my investment,\nRighteousness is my reward.\nI won’t trade eternal treasure\nFor what I can’t afford!\nTemptation’s price is far too high—\nMy destiny won’t be denied.\nI'm bought with blood, forever sealed,\nBy His stripes, I’m healed! (Isaiah 53:5)\n---\nFinal Chorus (with extra power):\nI can’t afford what dims His light,\nWhat clouds my day or steals my sight.\nIf it’s not love, if it’s not truth,\nI let it go—I stand in proof.\nGrace has paid what I could not,\nSo I protect what Christ has bought.\nIf it’s not pleasing to the Lord... \Then I can’t afford—I can’t afford!
