Be careful of the words we use and things we do
Pause to think upon the value of words,
They can wound or they can bless
And even then their impact upon yourself
Depends a lot on what you confess.
If you habitually speak of doubt and failure
And keep pondering why things are so,
Or focus upon your valley experiences,
Then to that level you will go.
The apostle Paul spoke words of encouragement,
Firmly believed in pressing towards his goal,
Thus forgetting the things that lay behind
Lifts the eternal value of your soul.
Let’s be careful of the words we use
And give more thought to the things we do,
Some could be failing to read their Bible
But they may be reading you.
