Power of Words

Power of Words


     I heard this song today and thought it had a message that we all can use to hear. Words can build us up or tear us down. Think at a time when you heard a homily that set your heart a blaze and wanted to go out and teach others about Jesus. Now, think about a time that someone struck you down or put out that fire with words. It is very easy to use words to tear people down or let them feel there is no point of them to continue with their goals or dreams. 

        We are to help build the Kingdom of God and we do that but not only showing we care but also letting people know we care with words and let people know what they mean to us. Yes, the saying “ Actions speak louder then words” is true most of the times but what about when our actions show good but our words slam or bring down others. 

       One thing for Lent I plan on doing is to watch my words and help build up then bring down. Think of how your words affected people today and if it was for the good or the bad? Try and think about this each day and see where you are at the end of the week. Were more bricks used to build up or were they used as a weapon. 

       Below is the video by Hawk Nelson titled “ Words” and below the video is the lyrics. Hope you enjoy this weeks music choice. 

Until tomorrow, God Bless, and may the words come that build you up today as yours does the same for others. 



"Words"

They've made me feel like a prisoner
They've made me feel set free
They've made me feel like a criminal
Made me feel like a king

They've lifted my heart
To places I'd never been
And they've dragged me down
Back to where I began

Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

You can heal the heartache
Speak over the fear
(Speak over the fear)
God, Your voice is the only thing
We need to hear
(We need to hear)

Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Let the words I say
(Let the words I say)
Be the sound of Your grace
(Sound like Your grace)
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

I wanna speak Your love
Not just another noise
Oh, I wanna be Your light
I wanna be Your voice

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Let the words I say
(Let the words I say)
Be the sound of Your grace
(Sound like Your grace)
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts
Or put it out

I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
