The mouth speaks what the heart feels And hidden truths are now revealed Our words can give life or bring death The power of God is in our very breath What is in our hearts comes out of our mouths We have control over what is allowed If we are what we consume There shouldn’t be any room For vileness and hatred to take residence When we show the overwhelming evidence Of love and truth gentleness and peace Patience, faith and prayer that doesn’t cease This is how they know us: they know us by our love In this we show our kinship with the Father in Heaven above And let us not dwell on other’s faults But seek first to find our own And bringing judgement to a halt We find that we have grown Love your sister and your brother Though they may have a different mother There are hundreds of languages in the world But love is universal and a smile is unfurled They know us by the fruit we bear of peace and unity With eyes of love striving for a world in harmony The outside is a manifestation of what is within Do we reflect Christ or are we soiled by sin? We are Christ bearers light bearers Salt and light to the ends of the earth We are truth sharers and Armor of God wearers We are here to bring about a time of rebirth So my friend guard your heart and guard your tongue So you may stand victorious over the evil one I pray your words would give life and your life would bless And God provide what you need no more and no less So Speaks the Heart
