May the words of your mouth,
be filled with praise
may the spirits of others
they lift up and raise.

May they be seasoned,
with the salt of life
may others they help
with their earthly life.

May the words on your tongue,
be full of Jesus’ love
may they reflect the ones
of your Father’s above.

May they be honest and pure,
graceful and real
may God use them to repair
to restore and to heal.

May the words in your head,
be well thought out . . .
before from your lips
you even let them spout!

Ephesians 4:29

Let no corrupt communication
proceed out of your mouth,
but that which is good to the use
of edifying, that it may minister
grace unto the hearers.

Psalm 19:14

Let the words of my mouth,
and the meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight,
O Lord…
