I love the lyrics of “Words” a song by Hawk Nelson (partial lyrics below). Words can be very powerful. The old adage “Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me” is not true. The words of this song ring true.
“Words” by Hawk Nelson
They’ve made me feel like a prisoner
They’ve made me feel set free
They’ve made me feel like a criminal
Made me feel like a king
They’ve lifted my heart
To places I’d never been
And they’ve dragged me down
Back to where I began
Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart or
Put it out
Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don’t wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You {God}

Good reminder of the impact of what we say.
I could hear the melody while reading the words. KTIS is my listen-to radio station with such uplifting songs.
