Our Speech

“Grace is poured into Thy lips” (Psalm 45:2).

“And all bare Him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth” (Luke 4:22).

“Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt” (Colossians 4:6).

The Savior spoke with loving tones,
With kindness in His voice;
His graciousness personified,
Each word of perfect choice.

And so, we too should seek to speak
Those things that make for peace;
Let every word be healing balm,
We from our lips release.

Our speech commendable and right,
As glorifying God:
That others may our Savior see,
In us where here he trod.
