Tame Your Tongue

(Daniel James)
2007-05-01
Daniel James Martinusen
You heard it from your neighbor, who heard it from a friend
A young man from your home church was caught right in a sin
So you got on the phone just to see if it was true
And before you knew it, you had told everybody that you knew

(Chorus)
Tame your tongue, don’t spread the evil
Get on your knees, not on the phone
Don’t feed the fire, use a little wisdom
You want to learn to love, tame your tongue

Someone that you told, he knew the man real well
And he told him what you said, though he promised not to tell
The man got on the phone and he began to yell
Don’t you feel good now, the things you said
Just might send his soul to hell

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge)
One little spark can burn a mighty forest to the ground
Our tongues were made for praise, not tearing people down

(Repeat chorus)
