Profanity

He who is deserving of the highest acclaim
Watches us from heaven above
And each time we utter out His name
May it be with praise and love

Jesus, our elder brother
Has borne all of our woes
And He would that we love one another
The great cost for this, He knows

Both names as diety are sacred
Titles of majesty, for awe
They're not words of habit bred
For anger clenched along the jaw

All words used as profanity
Attack our dignity
And it shows our ignorance
When what we need is assistance

When we have pain amidst commotions
Let us respond like our Elder Brother
For when suffered strong emotions
His would not say what harms another

Ex. 20: 7
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Deut. 5: 11
11 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Mosiah 13: 15
15 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Ps. 139: 20
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

Prov. 30: 9
9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

2 Ne. 26: 32
32 And again, the Lord God hath acommanded that men should not murder; that they should not lie; that they should not steal; that they should not take the name of the Lord their God in vain; that they should not envy; that they should not have malice; that they should not contend one with another; that they should not commit whoredoms; and that they should do none of these things; for whoso doeth them shall perish.
