Are You Keeping Bad Company

Remember bad company 
corrupts good morals.
So be careful when "hanging 
around the fellows."

What may sound to be 
pleasant and fun.
May cause your spiritual 
life to become undone.

The truths of God's word 
which you now instill.
Are guarding your conscience 
and your will.

God loves you and doesn't want 
you caught unaware.
For he is somebone who 
really does care.

If the company you keep
tends to pull you down.
Allow God's word to plant 
your feet on solid ground.

God will give you happiness 
this world could never give.
He will be by your side 
each day that you live.

May people around you 
certainly know,
You're Christ' example--
no matter where you go!
