Words

Sticks and stones may break our bones
But our bones can all be healed
When hurtful words are spoken to us
The brokenness is often concealed
Hidden away deep down inside
Where nobody can ever reach in
Only God’s hand can heal the hurt
If we allow His love to come in

Help us Lord to realize our words
Can bruise the human soul
And can build a wall of indifference
Where our spirits slowly grow cold
Help us Lord to realize the pain
That others can feel inside
When we speak negativity
And discouragement into their lives

We must be ever mindful of
The words we come to speak
And ask ourselves – ‘Will they build up’
For words can cut so deep
If we could only grasp this
We would only speak words of hope
That brings blessing and encouragement
And helps one another to grow
