O be careful little mouth what you say
O be careful little mouth what you say
There’s a Father up above
And He’s looking down in love
So, be careful little mouth what you say
This is the lyrics of a song that I was taught at church during my childhood days. I have enjoyed singing this song just for the tune. Recently I understood the depths of meaning of the lyrics.
Mouth can utter both good and bad. The decision lies with the beholder. The Bible says that the tongue is powerful to bring forth what it is allowed to utter. In can bring forth both life and death, goood and bad, blessing and curse. But the decision lies with us.
Be careful and use your words wisely.
