The Empty Sheath Not For Contest

If you walk though life with an empty sheath
Your sword will lay upon your chest in the grave
His word is my sword sharpen it daily and use it wisely
For if your mouth is empty of words how will you stand

Heed the mouth leave the sword in the sheath
A sword will kill but the mouth will save take wise to his word
There will be more fear in his word then in the sword
Place your sword back in it’s sheath and speak God’s word

“Matthew 26: 52 KJV
For all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword”
