Truthful Lips Endure Forever - Proverbs 12: 19-22, Hebrews 4: 13
Your lips are made for truth
especially from God's holy word
but lies last only a moment
leaving sin to leave us stirred
Beware of evildoers in their ways
they are those filled with deceit
learn from the joyful souls
who bring peace to all they meet
The righteous suffer no spiritual ill
for the Lord loves to bless their faith
trouble follows the wicked to the full
to their downfall spurning God's grace
The Lord hates intensely as lying tongue
it's an abomination in HIs holy spirit
God's faithful people walk with Him
bringing glory to His pure delight
God sees every being in His sight
for they are completely naked
before the one we give an account
Jesus Christ the righteous full of light
("Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
but those who plan peace have joy.
No ill befalls the righteous,
but the wicked are filled with trouble.
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
but those who act faithfully are his delight.")
Proverbs 12: 19-22 (ESV)
("And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.")
Hebrews 4: 13 (ESV)
