Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Lessons In Godly Behaviour -James 1: 19

Life lessons come in many forms
the important ones we need not forget
listen well the apostle’s words clearly
take it in and you’ll never be in debt

Tune your ears well away to wisdom
be always attentive to all that’s good
make listening your most fervent desire
don’t let yourself forget you really should

Control the tongue don’t let it rule
learn to be silent more than to speak
for this is what the wise should do
then you’ll not be found out weak

Anger uncontrolled an awful thing
it eats away biting sharply  inside
be sure not to let anger in at all
stand firm fight hard against the tide

So take heed of these wise words
show yourself one of God’s approved
be firm in conviction under trial
stand strong in God don’t be moved

('Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; ' James Ch. 1 v. 19) (ESV)
