Word of Mouth

Let the words of our mouths be pleasing

By  word of mouth make it clear

May our lips be purified with coals

Our words formed for the hearing ear

Lord let many see and let many hear

The meditation of our heart ever grows

So to glorify the one we seek

Turn our faces away from shadows

Guard and guide our lips as they speak

Let our mouths show the power of the weak.

Well chosen words  imbued with grace

Compelling the weary to hear

By word of mouth shall the lost be saved

From speaking mouth to listening ear

Till the sword from your mouth shall appear.

The Word of the Lord goes forth

It will not return empty or void

Like the Word that formed the earth

There is light in the words we've employed

When it's spoken the dark is destroyed

Confess with the mouth and believe with the heart

The word that is spoken shall never fade

The Lord is alive and salvation starts

It shall echo and sound in each prayer weíve prayed.

Be declared in each mouth you have made.
