Guard Your Thoughts Carefully -Proverbs 4: 23

Many indeed are our thoughts daily
so many that they've so hard to count
our minds runs away with itself
hold on hold fast up the mount

So be guarded on all our thoughts
fill your minds with all of God's word
take it in daily digesting all it says
then your soul would be suitably stirred

All of the scriptures contain God to the full
this is where you receive all that's divine
it makes good sense to steep right in
sanctify your mind in God a sure sign

Our thoughts really do run our life
it's ultra expedient you have it in control
so to think always what's good and true
making sure they're your number one goal

God has given us a mind to think
fill it with what makes us wise
hold on to all of that real wisdom
then we'll see our life really rise

('Keep your heart with all vigilance,
   for from it flow the springs of life.')
Proverbs 4: 23 (ESV)
