My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
It can be used as a lover or a fighter.
To build or destroy
What do I want more?
To create a life full of love and peace
Or generate contention and misery.
I choose to love and inspire others,
Considering first the need of my brothers
I will let wisdom flow freely from my mouth
Offering up praise and thanksgiving, with no wavering, no doubt.
See wisdom is pure, peaceful and gentle
Yields, has mercy, and contains no favoritism.
I see people around me through eyes of faith.
I speak to them lovingly, showering them with grace.
My motivation you ask, what can it be?
There must be something in it for me?
Like Jesus compassion gives me the desire to see those around me with a renewed mind, a restored soul, a pure heart.
I must share how love set me free, from the start.
So when you hear the words that say,
Only Jesus is the way.
Open your heart and receive,
More than you will ever believe
Yes indeed, my tongue, my mouth is a gift,
I will speak life, hope and uplift.
