Their words sound refreshing, but they're toxic inside
They can soothe for a moment, but they twist and they hide
Like a cobra once tamed, waiting still for the day
To strike with its venom and take your hope away
Oh, be cautious and wise, don't fall for the lies
Hold on to the truth, where strength truly lies
The path that is righteous won't lead you astray
God's word is your shelter, don't drift far away
At first, they seem gentle, innocent to your eyes
But they drown you in poison, wrapped up in disguise
At the tip of a spear, their deceit will appear
Leading hearts far from love and drowning them in fear
Oh, be cautious and wise, don't fall for the lies
Hold on to the truth, where strength truly lies
The path that is righteous won't lead you astray
God's word is your shelter, don't drift far away
Toxic teachers will tell you, you're doing just fine
If you follow their course, if you walk their line
But there's danger in comfort that leads to dust
For a path paved in lies is a road you can't trust
Oh, be cautious and wise, don't fall for the lies
Hold on to the truth, where strength truly lies
The path that is righteous won't lead you astray
God's word is your shelter, don't drift far away
So be faithful and true to the God you can know
His word is the anchor when the tempests blow
While the world may deceive, His love is your guide
His judgment is just, there's no place to hide
Oh, be cautious and wise, don't fall for the lies
Hold on to the truth, where strength truly lies
The path that is righteous won't lead you astray
God's word is your shelter, don't drift far away
For the lust of the world won't birth peace or life
It'll leave you in shadows, it will fill you with strife
So stand firm in the light, trust His promises sure
In a world full of lies, let His truth be the cure
Oh, be cautious and wise, don't fall for the lies
Hold on to the truth, where strength truly lies
The path that is righteous won't lead you astray
God's word is your shelter, don't drift far away
When the poison surrounds you and darkness draws near
Remember His words are the light you can hear
His truth will sustain you, the lies can't withstand
Trust in His mercy and hold on to His hand
So be cautious and wise, in His truth you must trust
For His words will endure, and His judgment is just
The path that is righteous won't lead you astray
God's word is your shelter, don't drift far away
Don't drift away
