Please Take Care

Deuteronomy 8:11-20

Take care that you are not turned away,
From the Lord your God and His decree;
Which you are to be abiding in each day,
And you will not be burdened in iniquity.

Take care of your heart not feeling pride,
Giving the Lord your God of no thought;
Having forgotten who has been your guide,
As well as the lessons that He has taught.

Take care of your soul that it remains true,
To the Lord your God and His Holy Word;
Trusting and obeying in all He says to do,
While keeping advances of Satan deterred.

Take care of the power that is in your hand,
For the Lord your God granted the strength;
Giving you a wealth that is from the land,
In making all things possible at any length.

Take care of your mouth so you may speak,
Of the Lord your God in order to proclaim;
Onto others with lost souls that may seek,
In giving glory and honor onto His name.
