He then took my hand and we walked though the old gossip mill
As I walked and as I listened, I wished that I was deaf,
Because it seemed like we were walking through the valley of death
He told me to tell everyone there’s a better way and tell all that I know,
And never give up on them until they’re hearts begin to glow
He told me to share my stories on the FaithWriters page,
With His words that are sweet like rosemary and sage
Please listen to these words so that you don’t miss out on the boat,
Because on judgment day you’ll want to be a sheep and not a goat
This is my bible and there are many like it,
And this one is mine and this is why I like it.
I read it every day and this is why I bother,
It teaches me about Jesus and our heavenly Father.
It teaches me to be strong, courageous and bold,
All this I can learn from the stories that it holds.
It teaches me that I can feed five thousand while they sit and stare,
If I just commit myself to silence and to prayer.
It teaches me if I seek I will find and if I ask I will receive,
Through Gods love and grace, and not by tricks up the sleeve.
It teaches me about faith, about love, and about hope,
So I can make it through those times when I’m trying to cope.
It teaches me to love my neighbor and love them with all my might,
And if everyone tried this, peace would be in sight.
It teaches me that when they crucified my Lord by nailing him to a tree,
That he freed us all from sin and proved it on day three.
And to all the non-believers I promise to remind and always tell,
That stop, drop, and roll doesn’t work in hell.
And when my age has caught up with me and it’s time for retirement,
I pray that I did all that the Lord asked, and changed someone’s environment
And I’m not one to send words through the old gossip mill,
But these I will send and pray that lost hearts and souls get they’re fill
And when the second coming of Christ reveals itself no longer a fable,
It will be an honor and a blessing to sit across from you at the banquet table.
Now remember what you just read and now pass it along to others,
So the walls of heaven can be filled with more of our sisters and our brothers

If we could only hear what we would sound like if we were part of the gossip mill, we would be totally embarrassed.
Living like Jesus tells us in the bible will help us keep our tongues from evil.
You did well to rely on the bible for direction for yourself and others.
