Don't ever lose your temper,
Else later you will grieve,
For temper lost can never gain
What kindness can achieve.
The foolish lose their temper
And kindle needless strife,
But he who's wise will when provoked,
Let Christ control his life.
Trust Him with full surrender,
Your temper He'll subdue,
And other will be drawn to God,
Through Christ who's seen in you.
