Keep the Bridle

I will keep the bridle until I have perused God’s Word,

and my school of thoughts inclined to His.

For the things that come out of my mouth, it said, I will meet again,

and by it, I shall be condemned.

The world is full of opinions, my heart says this is it.

But then I read the Bible, and it tells no, that’s not it.

Where then should I listen? To my heart or to His Word?

I then choose to make the Bible, my guide in this world.

My resolve then is to keep the bridle, I never knew I’d need.

But this I vow, His Word I would ever heed.

By His grace, make my life consistent-a feat I will never think I’ll complete.

But I will keep the bridle, till men see I read and lived.
