Swearing! Bad idea!

1. I, a warning, have to give,
those all those who want to live:
In God's heaven up above,
Where we will enjoy his love:

2. There, a day, is coming soon,
Just as sure as will the moon;
Wax and wane from full to nil,
Jesus, be the judge, then, will:

3. When he was a man, he taught -
As he, sinners, to save, sought;
That he careth for the birds,
And will judge us by our words.

4. "By thy words, condemned", said he,
"shalt thou, or jus-ti-fied, be";
And, I trust that ye have heard,
"...Judged for every idle word";

5. At this point, I have to say,
I, the penitent, must play;
I, my words, lament and own,
That I: "...should have, better, known."

6. I acknowledge, I have been,
Quite a man of lips unclean;
And I do repent of this,
And that I, the mark, did miss.

7. "I", O Father, "have to say,
Sorry for my words, today;
And beseech thee, me, redeem,
It, impossible, doth seem...

8. ...For me to arrest the use,
By my tongue, of language, loose;
I confess that, is my tongue,
Like a filthy sponge - when wrung;

9. And out oozes filth and froth,
When I get, in my flesh, wroth;
Oh! I want to stop cursing,
And, instead, thy praises, sing!

a. I want to, thy love, reflect,
And be upright and per-fect;
And, I know, that what I say,
Doth a pi-vo-tal role, play;

b. So, let me, my loins gird up -
Let the INSIDE of this cup;
Be a vessel, clean and pure,
As I, chastening, endure;

c. I want to, my generation,
And my wayward, wicked nation;
Warn, and woo to righteousness,
So that thou canst richly bless!

d. We are DYING *'Ah-Buh-Jeeh!'
Help us to get back to thee!
Let us not be turned to hell,
But for ever with thee dwell!

e. Let our hearts be changed, within,
For, from it, doth spring our sin;
Let us fear thee and repent,
For, for this, was Jesus sent."
