WHAT  I  DO  AND  WHAT  I  SAY

By Rev. Dean Beaty  3/12/06

 

The things that I do and the things that I say.

Do they point others in the very same way?

Is there a chance that the things that I do,

Are not always right, are not always true?

 

I would not dare tell a young child to steal,

Yet that which is God’s, do I use as I feel?

Never would I use my Lord’s name in vain.

But how about my life, could it be profane?

 

The Lord’s day has come but what do I choose?

Not much else in life is more often abused.

Do I choose pleasure, when God’s people meet?

Can God count on me, to be in my seat?

 

Sometimes there’s more of what I say than I do?

This does not lead men to a heart that is true.

Please help me dear Lord, to do as I preach,

So others will hear the truth that I teach.
