On James 3: 1-17 Poem by Penni Currie

James 3 1-17
Those who teach, to judgement fall
To stumble or err is upon us all
Let the tongue be still and light no fires
Let us speak without earthly desires
For bit to horse or rudders to ships
Let no evil pass your lips
The tongue no human can easily tame
Can both fresh water and salt flow from the same
We praise our Father and our Lord
From the same mouth we raise some evil word
Deeds done in Humility
The words we speak with fragility
Do not boast or deny the truth
Sho the Lord you have some ruth
Grief for words that pass our teeth
Gain control and perfect be
Do not curse society
Wisdom works to control the mind
Let your words be true and kind
In God's grace we practice faith
From heaven purity guides our breath.
