Our tongue is a member
So soft and so slick
Of the busybody gang
And the backstabber’s clique
First it says “Have you heard?
Then it adds “Listen close
To my sweet secret word”
Then it starts to boast
But God sees right through
Every lie we have told
With our nose in the air
When our hearts have grown cold
Because He created
Us for better things
If we’ll just speak the truth
He’ll give us truth we can sing!
