1.

What you sow you’ll reap for certain.
’Tis a law of life, we know.
Take good heed, for God has spoken.
Hidden seeds will sprout and grow.

2.

Just a word, and barely noted!
But take heed to what you say!
For each whisper in the darkness
To the light will come one day.

3.

Let your speech reveal to others
You the mind of Christ possess.
Then you’ll watchful be to never
Speak a word in foolishness.

4.

Learn of Jesus, He who never
Judges by what’s seen or heard.
He is righteous in each judgment—
Good and just in deed and word.
