Chorus:
You better mind, O you better mind,
You got to give an account at the judgment,
you better mind.

1 Sister, you better mind how you talk,
You better mind what you're talking about,
You got to give an account at the judgment,
you better mind. [Chorus]

2 Brother, you better mind how you pray,
You better mind what you're praying for,
You got to give an account at the judgment,
you better mind. [Chorus]

3 Mourner, you better mind how you mourn,
You better mind what you're mourning for,
You got to give an account at the judgment,
you better mind. [Chorus]

4 Preacher, you better mind how you preach,
You better mind what you're preaching about,
You got to give an account at the judgment,
you better mind. [Chorus]
