Our
words have power to encourage, to heal, to crush, or to wound. God warns and instructs
us of the power of words; time and time again. Are we paying attention, or do
we just let words fly from our mouths? Check out this song from Hawk Nelson
about words. I’ve included the lyrics (below) just in case you can’t play the
video for some reason, or… if you like to ponder over the poetry like I do.
Let my
words be life.
Let my words be truth.
I don't want to say a word
Unless it points the world back to You.
YBIC,
Dave Hoag
Words
By Hawk Nelson
They've
made me feel like a prisoner
They've made me feel set free
They've made me feel like a criminal
Made me feel like a king
They've lifted my heart to places I've never been
They've dragged me down back to where I began
Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart
Or put it out
Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't want to say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
You can heal the heartache
Speak over the fear
God, your voice is the only thing
We need to hear
Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts
Or put it out
Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't want to say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
Let the words I say
Be the sound of Your grace
I don't want to say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
I want to speak Your love
Not just another noise
I want to be Your life
I want to be Your voice
Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't want to say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
Back to You
Let the words I say
Be the sound of Your grace
I don't want to say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts
Or put it out
I don't want to say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
