Don’t you know that the words that come out of your mouth
could change the whole city, perhaps the whole South.
Might lift up a soul in the middle of strife,
might affect the whole world, or just one single life.
The devil just loves when we’re scared into silence.
Withholding God’s love is a horrible violence.
‘I’m afraid, I’m afraid, how I’ll fail’s all I hear’.
But with God on my side, what’s to possibly fear?
Speak blessings from heaven to fill up your house.
Speak joy as a fire no downpour can douse.
Call abundance to places afflicted with lack.
Speak God when it’s awkward, and stop holding back.
Bless the people in traffic, the people at work,
the friendliest sinners and the world’s meanest jerk.
Bless those whose Bible gathers dust on a shelf.
Bless those who might say, “Keep your God to yourself.”
Don’t you know the whole cosmos responds to God’s voice.
He’s shared that power with you, so accept it by choice.
God made you to fish men, so with words start your casting.
Spread the gospel of truth, and the joy everlasting.
