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
Lord, please help us speak the
words
That will build up and edify,
Words that will bring
comfort and hope
That will truly unify
It's so easy to come
out with words
Filled with anger and hurt,
Words that divide
sisters and brothers
That hasn't been laced with God's
word
How easy it is to speak the words
That discourages
one another,
Giving our own opinions and advice
Without
understanding each other
Lord, I pray you'll speak through
us
With words that truly uplift,
Words that always
encourages
And hearts willing to forgive
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. © By M.S.Lowndes
