Word Power


Proverbs 12:17-22

As you are leaving from here this morning,
Please heed these words to be a warning;
Breathing out true words increases thought,
But false witness is a deceitful onslaught;
While some people talk can be quite rude,
A tongue piercing as a sword as they feud;
But the tongue of the wise can make well,
Healing the wounds that the swords impel;
True lips certainly forever never to deny,
As a false tongue not consistent in a lie;
Evil is in the heart those conniving deceit,
But their outcome will wind up in defeat;
For false lips are abominations to the Lord,
And be a downfall if my words are ignored.
I tell you these things for your own good,
And hoping that they might be understood;
For changing your attitude and way of life,
Then maybe you'll not have all that strife;
You need to know the power of the word,
For God also hears what others have heard.
