Words

Listen from:
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 4:22Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. (Luke 4:2)2 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, 4645Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? 46The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. (John 7:45‑46)) came back with. out Him, saying, “Never man spoke like this Man.”
