So many times in life we look back on something we said or did and wish we had handled things differently. Sometimes it's better not to say anything at all than to give the wrong impression by voicing an opinion.
Let me not say hurtful things, Or shameful actions do. Let my words not sow deceit, And thus bring shame to You. Let my words bring only peace, And my actions too; That I may walk with head held high, And only friends accrue; For there are those who look for faults, And point out others sin. Let me build up my fellows Lord, And not be one of them. Cleanse my heart and cleanse my mind. Let me not cause doubt. Keep Your right hand on my shoulder Lord, And Your left hand over my mouth.
