GUARD YOUR HEART

Proverbs 4: 20-22 "Dear friend, listen well to my words; tune your ears to my voice. Keep my message in plain view at all times. Concentrate! Learn it by heart! Those who discover these words live, really live; body and soul, they're bursting with health. GUARD YOUR HEART; that's where life starts. Don't talk out of both ides of your mouth; avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip. Keep your eyes straight ahead; ignore all sideshow distractions. Watch your step, and the road will stretch out smooth before you. Look neither right or left; leave evil in
the dust." (THE MESSAGE)

GUARD YOUR HEART
Words and Music By Jon Mohr

What appears to be a harmless glance
Can turn to romance, and home are divided.
Feelings that should never have been
awakened within tearing the heart in two;
Listen, I beg you of you,
Guard your heart,
Guard your heart,
Don't trade it for treasure,
Don't give it away.
Guard your heart,
As payment for pleasure -- it's a high price to pay.
For a soul that remains sincere,
with a conscience clear,
Guard your heart!

The human heart is easily swayed,
and often betrayed at the hand of emotion.
You dare not leave the outcome to chance,
We must walk in advance or live with agony.
Guard your heart,
Guard your heart,
Don't trade it for treasure,
Don't give it away.
Guard your heart,
As payment for pleasure -- it's a high price to pay.
For a soul that remains sincere,
with a conscience clear,
Guard your heart!
