With Our Words

With the words , we encourage 

And uplift those around us ,

Tell people we love them ,

And sing praise to God .

We also might complain  

About those who wrong us ,

Insult those we dislike ,

Gossip about others behind their backs 

And more .

We build up ,

But we also tear down 

As James points out .

This is wrong .

All people on earth are loved by God .

Why would we want to affect anyone 

With our words.

But thanks be to God .

He teaches us 

What to say to others ,

How to speak words of life 

Even to people we rather steer clear of .

He has the words of eternal life .

He also shows us how to forgive 

And love others .
