Words

I heard this song this week on Christian radio station, KLove, by Hawk Nelson called Words.  The opening lyrics caught my attention immediately. Maybe it was because I was feeling like a "prisoner to my thoughts". And thoughts often become words, whether spoken to others or spoken to ourselves. Throughout the next few days I kept seeing more signals about "words".

Whether spoken to others or to yourself... Let your words be life...Let your words be truth!

Read the lyrics below and you'll see what I mean.

They've made me feel like a prisoner

They've made me feel set free

They've made me feel like a criminal

Made me feel like a king

They've lifted my heart to places I've never been

They've dragged me down back to where I began

Words can build you up

Words can break you down

Start a fire in your heart

Or put it out

Let my words be life

Let my words be truth

I don't want to say a word

Unless it points the world back to You

You can heal the heartache

Speak over the fear

God, your voice is the only thing we need to hear

Words can build us up

Words can break us down

Start a fire in our hearts

Or put it out

Let my words be life

Let my words be truth

I don't want to say a word

Unless it points the world back to You

Let the words I say

Be the sound of Your grace

I don't want to say a word

Unless it points the world back to You

I want to speak Your love

Not just another noise

I want to be Your life

I want to be Your voice



Love and Prayers,
