Original song by Jen 'Do Not Fan the Embers So'

I want my faith to be of worth
I want my words to be of truth
To encourage and uplift,
not demean or destroy
Help me hold my temper Lord
Keep my emotions in check
Keep my tongue from evil
Keep my lips from telling lies

Chorus:
Without wood a fire dies
Without gossip, fights and lies disappear, disappear
Do not fan the embers so
To hurt a person deep inside or below
Do not fan the embers so

Keep my tongue from doing evil
Keep my lips from tellings lies
Set a guard over my mouth
And a watch over my lips

Chorus:
Without wood a fire dies
Without gossip, fights and lies disappear, disappear
Do not fan the embers so
To hurt a person deep inside or below
Do not fan the embers so

Bridge:
Deliver me from evil
Stir my heart to flow you
Convict me of my sins Lord
Point my heart's compass back to you

Chorus:
Without wood a fire dies
Without gossip, fights and lies disappear, disappear
Do not fan the embers so
To hurt a person deep inside or below
Do not fan the embers so
