Don't Tell Lies
The earnings and labor of good people help
promote righteousness on the Earth.
Evil people tear down goodness and
they have no worth.

They do all they can to upset the balance of
a peaceful, fruitful life style.
They want to ruin all of us who do as the
Lord wishes - they want to steal our smile.

Evil people squander their lives away;
all they do is hate others and sin.
They will not turn from their evil ways,
and they will never be born again.

They are so busy telling lies they can't remember them all
and soon they stick their feet into their mouths they can't stop the evil flow.
The Lord does not want us to be like them.  If we don't
follow the Lord, the light within us will lose it's heavenly glow....
