Whipping about, lashing and hateful
This small member’s language is often fateful
For it strips and works to tear people down
Dropping their countenance to the ground
How often have we participated in the mess
When instead we could have used it to bless
To encourage, to lift, to exalt another
To enrich the lives of our Christian brother
To hold, to love, to show what’s right
Instead we often use it to fight
Wouldn’t it have been just as easy still
To bless according to God’s holy will
To show favor over mocking disdain
And love over inflicting pain
To build and nurture a life within
Instead of participating in this deadly sin
Whose pride causes a boast of self
Instead of nurturing to spiritual health
Speak blessings and help a life to grow
And you’ll reap the rewards from that life you did sow
“Let your speech always be with grace. . .” Colossians 4:6
