Taking snippets of the bible (other books, maybe, if I can get my hands on them) and rephrasing them for lyrics.

Psalm 141:3-5 -
<sup>3</sup>Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.
<sup>4</sup>Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men who work iniquity; and do not let me eat of their delicacies.
<sup>5</sup>Let the righteous strike me; <em>it shall</em>be a kindness.  And let him rebuke me, <em>it shall</em> be as excellent oil; let my head not refuse it.  For still my prayer <em>is</em> against the deeds of the wicked.

Paraphrased - 
Stand guard over my mouth
Stand watch over the door of my lips
Keep my heart from evil
Keep me from wicked men and their wrongs.
Hold not back the blow of the righteous,
    'Tis kindness;
Hold not back their rebukes,
    'Tis justice;
Let it fall upon me
For still my mind is set
against the wrath of man
