Talk His Talk

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow takes me back into

The world I’m called to walk

And it falls squarely upon me

To match my walk with talk.

 

I need to offer more patience,

And benefit, not doubt.

Instead of making things seem worse,

I should help work them out.

 

I cannot say I walk His path,

If the words that I say

Do harm to those who walk with me,

Or turn their steps astray.

 

It’s not enough to walk the walk,

For words have power, too.

Please help me, Lord, to make my words

Reflect and honor You.

 

Matthew 15:18

But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.

The New Has Come

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The time of resolutions made

To face the coming year,

To change from what has been before…

That time is now and here.

 

Without a doubt this broken world

Has chipped away my soul,

But I stand in the flowing grace

That renews and makes whole.

 

I look upon the bitterness

that I see every day,

The anger and self-righteousness

That once led me astray,

 

And I choose to turn back to grace,

Patience and compassion.

For it was through such grace from Him

That I’ve found redemption.

 

I choose to turn back from the world,

Let the old pass away,

And walk with faith the path He laid

That leads to a new day.

 

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
