Watch Your Mouth
Josiah Queen's song 'Watch Your Mouth' is a tender conversation between God and a struggling believer. The lyrics depict someone feeling inadequate and overwhelmed, but God gently corrects their self-doubt by pointing to the wounds of the cross as proof of His love. The song emphasizes that the listener is deeply valued as God's child, worth dying for. It moves from despair to assurance, encouraging the listener to reject lies and embrace the truth of God's unconditional love. The repeated refrain 'You have all my love' reinforces the central message of divine affection and worth.
Watch your mouth, boy
Don't you talk like that
The holes inside my hands show
You have all my love
I know that I'm not good enough
No, I will never measure up
My hands are about to fold
It's hard to get up out of bed
I look up to the sky, I say
I'm done
I'm done
And He said
Watch your mouth, boy
Don't you talk like that
The holes inside my hands show
You have all my love
You're my child
The apple of my eye
The holes inside my side show
You have all my love
So why would you live life
Like you weren't worth me dying for?
My dearest of apologies
The finding of the death of me
I found the Lord
I give up giving in the lies
I'm trading all my debts for life
I remember what You said to me
Watch your mouth, boy
Don't you talk like that
The holes inside my hands show
You have all my love
You're my child
The apple of my eye
The holes inside my side show
You have all my love
So why would you live life
Like you weren't worth me dying for?
You have all my love
Hey
You have all my love
Watch your mouth, boy
Don't you talk like that
The holes inside my hands show
You have all my love
You're my child
The apple of my eye
The holes inside my side show
You have all my love
So why would you live life
Like you weren't worth me dying for?
