There is life and perversion in the words we speak,
Not just on Sunday but all other days of the week,
Our tongues are a restless evil ready to kindle fire,
Doing damage and wounding as the Devil desires,
O Lord, we cry for help over the words we say,
Please help us speak life and not words of decay,
May we not kindle fires that set the forest aflame,
While on the other hand praising your holy name,
We need You to help us Holy Spirit to control,
To police what we speak as an officer on patrol,
Though small our tongues have got to be tamed,
We can't do it - so we look to Your mighty name,
May our words bring health, life, used to inspire,
Not set aflame by hell and Lucifer that old liar.
[James 3:1-12]
