~ Words That
Shape My Life ~
There are many words that shape
my life
Positive and negative, the
choice is mine
Words that are hateful and cut
like a knife
Or words that express love and
are kind.
In my prior life before Jesus, I
used words of hate
Bad words, swear words, hurtful
words; I didn't care
I grew up hearing many of these,
I thought, "This is my fate"
All the time sinking lower into
satan's lair.

But sometimes I would also hear
words of love
Words that lifted me up and gave
me signs of hope
And at these times, from the
mire I was lifted above
God was telling me, "Turn to Me
and I will help you cope"
Many years passed before I let
Jesus take hold
Good words and bad words still
shaped my life then
But I finally accepted Jesus and
forever I'll be in His fold
And now I always try to use
words that never offend.
Compassion, mercy, forgiveness
and love
Are words that lift one up and
never tear one down
And these words now shape my
life like a glove
Very simply put, what goes
around comes around.
~ ~ ~
God's Words shape my life now
and always will
And when I fall, His Word always
picks me up
Even when my path seems totally
uphill
His Blessings and His Words
always overfill my cup.
He reminds me of His Words which
I am to share
And when I use wrong words, I
fall under His knife
But when I let Him guide me, I
am always aware
That His Words will always shape
my life.
