"Do not let my fickle flesh go to waste//As it keeps my heart and soul in its place//And I will love with urgency but not with haste"
We're on earth with a God-given purpose–that's why we have these bodies, this flesh. Our physical makeup keeps us on the physical earth, which is where we are supposed to be at this time. What the first two lines of this last stanza is saying is "don't let my time here on earth go to waste" and acknowledges that in our humanness we tend to be selfish and flighty.
Finally, to love with urgency but not with haste is to invest our love wisely. After all, where we invest our love is where we invest our life.
