Sanitized Sanity

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" (Psalm 1:1-3). "All the ways of man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits. Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established" (Proverbs 16:2,3).

All the ways of sinful men
Are clean in their own eyes.
Commit your works to God and then
You'll see it otherwise.

For God can see with clearer vision
Ungodliness and pride.
He sees when sinful indecision
Turns our heart aside.

Walk not where the ungodly walk,
Stand not where sinners stand,
Sit not where scorners sit to mock;
Thus cleanse your heart and hand.

How then shall we sanitize
And keep our thinking sane?
How can we escape the lies
That make our living vain?

If on God's Word we will dwell
And In His way delight,
We shall surely prosper well
All day and through the night.
