The Power Of Words


Words fitly spoken are like apples of gold
In pictures of silver, on display.
Words can encourage and edify others
As they walk along life's narrow way.

Cruel words are like stones which are thrown
As they wound and harm one's soul.
Cruel words destroy and cannot lead one
To the safety of the Good Shepherd's fold.

When we seek to be like our Savior,
Our lives will be changed and anew.
Thoughts and words will be chosen
To help see others make it through.

No matter how low a person may sink
In sin or the depths of despair,
We can share God's grace and love;
And tell them Jesus will always be there.

We are to do good to those who hate
Or seem to always put us down.
Their words are not what matter in this life.
We have God's love, which always abounds.

Words of love and life
Can help their sin sick soul.
The Word of God still redeems and sets free.
Our Lord will save and make one whole.

We must return good for evil
And pray to bless the souls of others.
God extends, to them, salvation
And commands us to love one another.

In Christ, there is no condemnation.
Old things have passed away.
If you don't know the Savior's love,
Won't you heed His call and come to Him today?

Blessings In Christ,
