Keep a watch on your words, my, darling,
For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet like the bees’ fresh honey—
Like the bees they have terrible stings.
They can bless like the warm glad sunshine
And brighten a lonely life,
They can cut in the strife of anger,
Like an open, two-edged knife.
It is recorded of the Lord Jesus in Luke 4:22 That “all bare Him witness; and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth” Again the officers who were sent to take Jesus (John 7:45, 46) came back with. out Him, saying, “Never man spoke like this Man.”
