The myriad words we speak each day
Spring forth in colorful array,
Expressing thoughts and tumbling out,
filled with joy or sometimes doubt.
Hopefully our words are hewn
And issue from a heart in tune
With Jesus' leading and His cause.
To this we always should give pause.
When our hearts to Him incline
Words we speak will then align
And be acceptable in measure,
Bringing joy and godly treasure.
"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer."
Psalm 19:14 KJV
