Release Date: January 8, 2013

Verse 1:
We all live our lives with two mouths and one ear,
Speaking twice as much as we should try to hear,
This results in gossip, those daggerish words,
The one’s that pierce and cause lots of hurt,
But forgiveness is there, forgiveness is in Christ,
Use your words wisely to prevent those fights,
We all are human, and words slip out,
But why do some slip out more than others?

**Chorus Instrumental**

Verse 2:
Gossip out of my mouth and I just don’t like it,
Lord just have Your way, Just have Your way
Gossip out of my mouth and I just like it,
Lord just have Your way
Keep my heart pure and allow me to protect my friends,
When I spread this gossip it destroys our lives,
It destroys the trust, it destroys the friendship and it turns to rust,
When I spread this gossip I help the evil one, you know satan and his evil ways,
Trying to destroy our lives until the day, judgment day, that gloomy day,
So I pray Lord you protect our mouths, only give us good to say,
Help us expose the evil in our lives now,
That we are pure on judgement day

Chorus:
GOSSIP!
It destroys our lives, seal your lips unless you speak Christ

DAGGERS!
Are what these words are, pierce through our hearts leaving those scars

JOYFUL!
Is what we should speak, pray that your words don’t start to leak

FORGIVENESS!
Is what we love, making that peace that shows Christ’s love

Verse 3:
Peace,
This comes from Christ,
By putting down our ways and doing what’s right,
Lord just have Your way, come in my heart and tear me apart,
Do Your worst that I may be clean,
Rip out my stony heart, insert that heart of flesh,
Fill me up with compassion that my Words may have power when they leave my mouth,

Rip out the stony heart out of my flesh Lord,(x2)

Lord just have your way in our lives to all those that call upon Your name,
Grant them the mercy that You’ve poured on me,
Give them that heart of flesh, make them see!

Chorus:
GOSSIP!
It destroys our lives, seal your lips unless you speak Christ

DAGGERS!
Are what these words are, pierce through our hearts leaving those scars

JOYFUL!
Is what we should speak, pray that your words don’t start to leak (x2)

FORGIVENESS!
Is what we love, making that peace that show’s Christ’s love

REPENT!
For what you’ve done, show them you’re sorry, show them Christ’s love

Verse 4:
Life and death in the power of the tongue,
Just as powerful as a real gun,
What happens is, these bad words slip,
They pierce the hearts of those we love,
They stay within, they never leave,
They play with our minds and self-esteem,
Now satan lies, he uses what he can,
So forgive those now, while you can,
Claim God’s promise, when you’re weak He’s strong,
When these thoughts come on, please call home,
Now if we’re careful with what we say,
We protect our minds and others throughout our days,
Gossip is powerful, guard your mouth,
Don’t have self control? Call upon His name,
Use your words wisely, Build each other up,
And bring out gifts inside each other

From end of Verse 2:
So I pray Lord You protect our mouths, only give us good to say,
Help us expose the evil in our lives now,
That we are pure on judgment day (x2)
