There is power in our words
Unseen cause and effect unheard
Life to the flesh or death disturbed
There is weight to our words.

There is power in our words
Building blocks of encouragement
Or crushing of the Spirit and heart
Dreams gone dead from cursed remarks.

There is power in our words
Forest fires can singe and surge
Cut down deep is knife and blade
Our words do carry a hefty weight.

Words once spoken hover near
Never leaving the atmosphere
Like a blanket can cover for years
There’s weight to our words ya hear..

Proverbs 18:21

Death and life are in the power of the tongue…

James 3:6

And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.
