One of the downsides to our technological age is the easy accessibility of explicit material through movies, music, television and the Internet. As such, one is never too old to heed the truths contained in this timeless children’s song:
O Be Careful, Little Eyes
O be careful little eyes what you see
There’s a Father up above
And He’s looking down in love
So, be careful little eyes what you see
O be careful little ears what you hear
O be careful little ears what you hear
There’s a Father up above
And He’s looking down in love
So, be careful little ears what you hear
O be careful little hands what you do
O be careful little hands what you do
There’s a Father up above
And He’s looking down in love
So, be careful little hands what you do
O be careful little feet where you go
O be careful little feet where you go
There’s a Father up above
And He’s looking down in love
So, be careful little feet where you go
O be careful little mouth what you say
O be careful little mouth what you say
There’s a Father up above
And He’s looking down in love
So, be careful little mouth what you say
Prayer: Father, teach us to abhor that which is evil and cleave to that which is good. May our walk be undefiled, whether in public or in the privacy of our homes. Cleanse us of any wrongdoing, and let our lives be pure and acceptable to You. In Your name, Jesus, amen.
Wonderful reminder, sis:) Thank you. Blessing on your morning.
Thanks Karina. Blessings back your way.
We used to sing this when my boys were little…brings back memories!! So important for all of us. Jessie W.

Amen. We need it more than ever in this culture in which we live. Thanks Jessie. They grow up fast don’t they?
Amen…
🙂
what a wonderful reminder … I still sing it to my teenage boys … and then they roll their eyes 🙂
A much needed reminder for us in this ever dark world. Thanks, Heidi.
Amen! I was reminded of Phil. 4:8 as I read your post.
Yes. God wants out focus on things good and lovely so as not to stray into the wrong. Blessings and thanks for sharing
Yes there is so much truth in that song. The Father is watching everything we do and see. Prov. 15 :13 says, “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and on the good.” And Jer. 23:24 says, ” Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him…do not I fill heaven and earth?” If we are always aware that God is watching, that will make a big difference in what we chose to look at.
Amen. He sees it all. Thanks, Stephen
So true! Here was my post about the same song, with a little different perspective!

Nice perspective and a different twist on this song. thanks for sharing and for following my blog. I look forward to reading your posts. blessings
BEAUTIFUL ! Children have such spiritual power! I thought you’ll glean from this video….
🙂
I love this song! It is one of the first ones I learned. I came to know the LORD at 36 and used childrens tapes to help learn scripture! This was on a Hide them in Your Heart cassette! Thank you for sharing it! 🙂
My son had that tape. Since God wants us to come to Him as a little child, there is probably benefit in revisiting these children’s songs! Blessings
Thank you, 🙂
So much wisdom in that little song. Thank you for posting the words.
So much we can learn from children and their songs. Thanks
