When I speak
may my words be laced with grace,
seasoned with wisdom,
infused by love,
may my words be healing words,
challenging, lifegiving, wholesome,
may they surprise even me,
because their source is rooted
deep in you,
may they flow
as living water,
easing the soul,
calling forth active
(w)holiness...
+
save me from my own
rash and harsh words,
my foolish ill thought out
promises, promises I cannot keep...
and help me to forgive the
words of my past,
words I long to take back but cannot,
words that have made me never want to
speak again....
+
so give me boldness
to speak,
stir me and create in my heart a passion
that refuses to hold back,
speak in me,
speak to me,
speak through me...
wisdom, grace, peace, love...
and challenge
at the right time.
