Something to think about

[inge]

W o r d s

Words - powerful tools

We all possess

Words - tools for healing

Or distress

Words can make us laugh

Words can make us sigh

Can make us skip for joy

Can make us sad and cry

Words can build a wall between

The ones we love so dear

Words can hurt and can cut deep

Can fill our hearts with fear

A miracle words can perform

Make stricken hearts rejoice

Inspire those deeply depressed

With joy to raise their voice

To lowly ones let’s comfort bring

With winsome words just right

With the power of the tongue

They can see the future bright

Heed the way we use a word

With tenderness and care

To heal the broken-hearted

With love dispel despair

Jehovah gave the gift of words

To convey what’s in our heart

Will we use it in his work

His message to impart?

With words we praise Jehovah

And magnify his name

From now to all eternity

His glory they proclaim

I am so sorry! I forgot that I posted this one already.

Let me give you this one instead.

Our Comely Feet

How comely are the feet of those

Who bring good news of peace

From door to door and on the street

These feet are not at ease

We teach the kingdom good news

Our feet may hurt, be cold

Are crippled with arthritis

Because they’re getting old

We preach on land and on high seas

On airplanes, trains, in shopping malls,

Wherever people can be found

At work and at their banquet halls

We do get tired, have not rest

So many more must learn

How Jehovah cares for them

His will they must discern

We thank our God for comely feet

Who spread the kingdom song

With God we do walk hand in hand

Our feet to him belong
