From
infancy we're told it's wrong to lie
We
bear false witness to each other sly,
And
to ourselves with all our mind and might.
What
is it within us that makes us thus,
To
tell untruths to friends and neighbors so?
We
gossip, slander, fib and even cuss
While
knowing all the while that it is low.
I
tell you simply now there is no room
In
Heaven for someone who can't be trusted.
It's
better to cut off your tongue than doom
The
rest of you to Hell and be disgusted.
The Spirit of the Lord will help you
through
If you think first of Christ in all
you do.

"Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbour."
Exodus 20:16
