We will each be held accountable,
For every idle word that we speak,
So before wagging your long tongue,
Perhaps the Lord you ought to seek.

Because once you've started a fire,
It may be impossible to put it out,
Lives ruined, you lose your friends,
Of this, there should be no doubt.

Words will come back to haunt you,
You'll be accused for what you said,
The situation may even get so bad,
You'll even wish that you were dead.

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."


"Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell."
