CHECK YOURSELF


CHECK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU WRECK YOURSELF,
SHOULD YOUR ATTITUDE GO ASTRAY,
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU LOOK UPON,
AND EVERYTHING YOU SAY.


OTHERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS,
SO REACT TO OTHERS WITH CARE,
KEEP YOUR ANGER CRUCIFIED,
AND IN YOUR RESPONSE KEEP JESUS THERE.


WHEN SOMEONE CURSES OR YELLS AT YOU,
REMEMBER A SOFT ANSWER TURNS AWAY WRATH,
AND IF YOU PUT THIS SCRIPTURE INTO MOTION,
YOU'LL STAY ON THE GODLY PATH.


REMEMBER EVERYONE'S WATCHING YOUR WITNESS,
AND GOD SEES ALL YOU SAY AND DO,
SO CHECK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU WRECK YOURSELF,
AND THE WORD OF GOD WILL CARRY YOU THRU.
