Great white eating machine

I had this dream last night that a great white had gotten a hold on me waist down, holding me in it's mouth. This great big eating machine had me in it's clutches and wasn't letting go. Then I had some kind of really sharp arrow, so I started poking, slicing, cutting in any way I could, poked it's eyes out so it couldn't see, then realizing it could still smell and that's how it feeds, I cut around there too. The weapon in my hand even changed soI could use it like a knife or dagger too.
The eating machine was me. The lust for whatever I wanted and often did not deny myself is consuming me. I hate this man of sin, and I commit to the Lord that I will not entreat him in any way, I will not fulfill the lusts with it's passions, but I will crucify that fleshly man so he no longer has place in my life, or my children's, or my wife. SO that I can be an effective witness for Him in every way.

This eating machine it's eating you and me
It starts out with very little, then half of me
It chews and gnaws till there's nothing left
It grabs what it wants, feeding with no regret
I give in to it's passions so much
It consumes the very life , as I feed it so much
Never satisfied it craves so much more
More than I have noting left in my store
Why do I give into these passions of shame
Given over to another this is no game

It's like a great white eating machine
Consuming all in it's path
Never satisfied until I crucify it all
This tendency to lust that covers me in it's bath
Of fleshly indulgence
It's a death path

Why do I wander to pastures unknown
Leave the grassy plains to where my fancies are flown
It carries me to places of no rest
A cancer eating away at my chest
where my heart resides I give it my all
To take away all this my life it will gnaw
Until it's all gone
I've benn played like it's pawn

Feasting on my lusts, it craves more right now
Can't wait another moment or I'll have a cow
Impatience breeds anger no love found here
In this place of self satisfying driven by fear
Or maybe it's just passion, results the same
A hole in my heart no full of shame
There's no good in the me of my self
a pitiful end a mindless gulf
Turn instead to a God of Love
sent in the form of a son and settles like a dove
In a wandering wagon of lust and despair
I wander no more, my will His fare

For He paid the price with His sacrifice of Love in the air
On that cold lifeless day where He was crucified there
He did not ask me to die in His name
He asks me to live just the same
For Him with all that I have and do not
Trusting in His love to fill my cup
Not with everything I wanted and more
But everything He has in store

You see He loves me and redeems my shame
Calling on Him, and trusting His name
The name that is above every other no matter
He fills my plate, with no room for the latter
Now I fill on His mercies anew
All around lay my that no longer stick like a glue
Of torrential rain
Filling my heart and my brain
All the things I've ever needed are here
Bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh will follow me there
My wife and my kids will no longer suffer cause I
Could not put down that last piece of pie
