Be Careful of What You Say
Be careful of your tongue...
You could take the wrong turn...
Sometimes things are said
with no love or concern.
The Bible refers to the tongue
as being the rudder.
Be careful to not speak
"words out of the gutter."
Be very quick to listen, ever slow to speak.
In the way you live..
and how you preach.
Remember as you take
your every breath...
The words you speak can bring
life or death.
From a heart of love,
and a Christ-like mind...
May you speak that which
is encouraging and kind.
May others know that you’re
someone who does care...
Spreading tidings of God’s joy
to people everywhere!
