Words of My Mouth
By larry r Linville

(based on Psalm 19:14, “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O God.”)

My words are just like dynamite
they can build up or destroy
it depends on how I use them
whether they bring sorrow or joy.

My words are controlled by my heart
when I take time and hesitate.
Heart and mind work together
when with God’s Word I meditate

I meditate when I take time
to allow God’s spirit inside
with heart and mind working together
God’s message enters to abide.

So let these two be in balance
as natural as my breathing.
That’s when my heart’s meditation
will become words that are pleasing.
