Words can mean many different things,

The messages they carry are up to you.

Your heart ~ your thoughts ~ your attitude,

The way you speak will bring them through!

 

First they travel the route

from your heart to your mind:

Then as they are tossed about,

The meaning they find.

 

Are the things that you speak

fit for Kings and royalty?

Or are they feeble and weak,

filled with sadness and plea?

 

Once they exit your lips,

They are no longer a thought.

Are you glad they are out? 

Do you wish they could be caught?

 

Out of the heart flow the issues of life!

Are your words filled with love?

Are your words filled with strife? 

Is your heart filled with treasure?

Do you know what’s in store?

Can your kind words be measured?

Is your heart bitter sore?

 

If your heart has been filled ~

With cold, harsh words in the past~

They can be gathered and spilled,

Replaced with love that will last.

 

The transfusion takes time. 

It’s not one to be rushed~

But the hurt and the voices,

By love can be hushed.

 

Just whisper His name~

Soon the cleansing will start:

Jesus, Dear Jesus,

Heal my wounded heart

Pour in your love and never depart.

 

Oh!  Taste and see that the Lord is Good!
