My Thoughts and My Words - Re-Posted

Please guide my thoughts, keep them on You,

But, even more than this,
Please guide each word that it might be
No more harsh than a kiss.

For You spoke first and foremost, Lord,
Of love for all mankind
And I should strive to speak, also,
Only words that are kind.
 
For words can break a loving heart
Or make it strong, once more.
And words can make a wound so deep,
There’s no healing the sore.
 
If I want to live in Your light
I must live life Your way,
So help me guard the thoughts I think
And every word I say.
 
Psalm 19:14
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
