Author: Charles P. Jones Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #426 (1977) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: James 3:2 First Line: Mind, brother, mind you how you speak! Lyrics: 1 Mind, brother, mind you how you speak!
Mind, lest you wound the gentle Lord;
Think twice! true heav'nly wisdom seek
Before you utter e'er a word!
2 Stop, brother, mind before you move!
Will Jesus get the glory now?
Does self-will move you or does love?
Consider, brother, what you do!
3 Mind, brother, mind the tho'ts that come,
Seeking your interest to employ;
Are they just holy? e'er you roam,
Away with them, their nature try.
4 Mind, brother, mind you how you speak!
If you would be a perfect man,
Let holy words your silence break,
Sin not in word, you're perfect then. Topics: Warning Languages: English Tune Title: BOOKER
Mind, Brother
