Listen, Preacher!

If you think the House of God contains the pulpit where you preach, 

be aware of ev’ry stair you climb and every word you speak. 

Lis-ten-ing is better than each sac-ri-fice you thought you made. 

Don’t be like the fools who babble on the road to hell they take. 

———-

Hold your tongue when chances come to tell the Lord what’s to be done. 

Stay aware of who is where, the power stance of every one.

Speaking in a still, small voice, eternal God has much to say.

You might profit from some silence of your own this very day.
