The Words of My Mouth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh Lord, so often we speak first

And think it through too late.

How much less harm our words could do,

If we’d just hesitate.

 

Oh Lord, teach me to guard my thoughts

That, when my words follow,

They’re filled with kindness and with love,

And are not harsh and hollow.

 

Oh Lord, let Your Word be my guide

In all I say and do.

Let my words reflect the same grace

That I receive from You.

 

Psalm 19:14

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
