Rid yourself of any lies,
Telling true to each other;
It will make you to be wise,
With the truth to your brother.
Anger without you sinning,
For something that you would dread;
That is no way in winning,
In arguing before bed.
The thieves must no longer steal,
But start working with their hands;
And working hard is ideal,
Keeping fit as life demands.
So speak only what is good,
And any help you can give;
While doing as you should,
More happily you can live.
It helps those who will hear you,
Speak by turning up the charm;
Feel peace with words of value,
Rather than those that might harm.
Rid the bitterness and hate,
The tempers and the cursing;
Be willing to compensate,
With kindness of His blessing.
