The Taming of the Tongue

Well I should have seen it coming should've felt my flesh raging within Should have seen where I'm heading as I'm jumping mouth first into sin Well if you want to keep out of a fight Gotta learn to keep your mouth shut tight You gotta learn to shut up or learn to say it right Oh it's small but it's strong The taming of the tongue Well it only takes a spark to set a fire out of control Yeah the tongue can light a fire and the fire can consume your soul And if we gossip in the name of the Lord It's a prayer request honey that's all So how come we never taught that we can say Oh it's small but it's strong The taming of the tongue Well the tongue has the power to kill or the power to preserve And we don't understand how we cut each other down with our words Wella Wella Wella when will we work it all out We've got to take our feet out of our mouth speak words of faith instead of doubt Oh it's small but it's strong The taming of the tongue
