The tongue that speaks
Speech was given to me
To praise God and not to curse any of His creation
To glorify the Son whose death, brings new life
To honor the Spirit the light and the guide
Speech was given to me
To announce the Good News and proclaim it with Faith
To give witness to the Truth and affirm it with Love
To promote what is Just and act upon it with Hope
Speech was given to me
To encourage those in doubt and in trouble
To comfort those in despair and those who are lonely
To inspire those in sorrow and in pain
To cheer those in tears and broken hearted
Speech was given to me
To say something against what is wrong and what is evil
To share something with sense not just to talk of beautiful
but empty words
Speech was given to me to break the silence,
and to keep the silence Holy
The speech given to me
Is the hymn of my soul; the melody of my heart
Is the song of my life; the music of my existence.
