The Lying Tongue

A lying tongue can't speak to God In his presence it is silenced and awed, It will not move or speak a lie It will remain motionless, with a cowardly sigh. The lying tongue is the tongue of the snake Forked with lies to move and promises to break, But, in the presence of our mighty God and Lord It would be better off, if it were severed with a sword. The lying tongue just has one master Which brings it sin and hate and also disaster, It does not care for what deceitful master it serves It is an uncaring tool which happily unnerves. Before man ever utters a word to speak Be forewarned, God listens before man ever does seek, So, before that lying tongue can scream or shout It would be better off, if it were ripped completely out. The lying tongue has brought upon the world guilt and shame And also grief, worries and sadness and blame, It could make a God fearing man a sinner to all And a sinning woman becoming an Angel before the fall. Those who worship a lying tongue are the worse Upon them all, there falls a great terrible curse, An adulterer, a cheat, or a deceiver should never be approved Their lying tongue should be quickly removed. The lying tongue can be a pleasure to hear It can bring forth joy, revenge, satisfaction and cheer, It can also become an unguarded treasure As it spews out slander, defamation and fabrication as a pleasure. The Bible says that the truth will set you free Honestly and truthfulness is what God hopes all to see, But, those who speak or believe in a lying tongue Into the depths of Hell, they all should be flung.
