Bit Your Tongue

See what harm a lie can do, simply take a look around you

Pick today or yesterday or any time in history

Look to the east or west, the north or south

Or look no further than the untamed tongue in your own mouth

And see it’s no real mystery

My pride has no defense to support my accusation

That the biggest lies come from celebrities and leaders of the nations

The stone I hold until it’s cast, will not be thrown today

My empty words are hard to swallow as I learn there’s nothing left for me to say

My tongue is learning patience

If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us,

we guide their whole bodies as well. (James 3:3)
