My Lips




My lips speak much
Much malice
Much injustice
Much judgment
My lips have learned from my heart
My lips have journeyed where they were never meant to travel
My lips have scattered seeds of sorrow
Skipping along a broken path
My lips have injured my sojourner
My lips have afflicted hearts
My lips have introduced destruction to my soul

Heal my lips, Soul Keeper
Through the healing of my heart
Heal the lips that are capable of
Life
or
Death
Heal my Heart with Truth
That my lips will be set
Free

All grammatical errors are mine.
And only mine.
I should have been paying more attention in
Grammar Class
Instead, I was daydreaming about hiking the
Appalachian Trail.

Welcome Friends!
1 Good friend, take to heart what I'm telling you; collect my counsels and guard them with your life. 2 Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom; set your heart on a life of Understanding. 3 That's right - if you make Insight your priority, and won't take no for an answer, 4 Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold, like an adventurer on a treasure hunt, 5 Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-God will be yours; you'll have come upon the Knowledge of God. 6 And here's why: God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding. 7 He's a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. 8 He keeps his eye on all who live honestly, and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones. 9 So now you can pick out what's true and fair, find all the good trails! 10 Lady Wisdom will be your close friend, and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. 11 Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you. 12 They'll keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions 13 Of those who are lost themselves and can't tell a trail from a tumbleweed...
20 So - join the company of good men and women, keep your feet on the tried and true paths. 21 It's the men who walk straight who will settle this land, the women with integrity who will last here.
From Proverbs 2 of The Message (MSG)
