Words Can Be Cheap

Words can be cheap

if not followed with action.

Words can be wrong

if just wanting reaction.

Words should be right

if they are led now by God.

Words should be good

if they are truth, not façade.

Words should be kind, 

and not hateful in nature.

Words should be thoughtful, 

not hurtful, which fracture.

Words ought to help others,

Lead them in right ways.

Words ought to guide others,

Not lead them astray.

Words should give good counsel,

Not tell people lies.

Words should speak truth of God,

Not on flesh rely.

Words can wreak havoc,

Cause widespread destruction,

If we’re not careful

To follow instructions.

Watch now what you say,

Let God guide all your words.

Speak truth to each other

From God you have heard.
