Verse 1

God rejoices in a truthful tongue

He sends His blessings on the honest one                                                      

Truthful lips are the Lord’s delight

God is honored when we do right

Chorus

Stretchin’ the truth is a dangerous game

It’s sure to bring you lots of grief and shame                                                    

You’ll never get by with a little white lie

So don’t go stretching the truth

Verse 2

Learn this lesson if you’re old or young

The Lord’s dishonored with a doubled tongue                                                

Stretch the truth and your lie will grow

Soon it changes to a deadly foe

Don’t go stretchin’

Don’t go stretchin’

Don’t go stretching the truth!
