The Power of the Tongue

God’s intent for all when
He gave us each a tongue,
Was to use it for purposes
Such as telling of His Son.

We were given this tool
not for a weapon of destruction,
But to spread His Word
and not words of deception.

Just keep in mind when you’re
spreading your “fork-tongued” lies,
That God will see right through
With His omniscient eyes.
