Words of Difference
by Dave Mudford © 2023Words of my poem fail,
Even before they sail;
Restricted by my way,
Limiting what I say.
Words of my heart fail,
Hidden behind my veil;
Corrupted by my motive,
My soul becomes emotive.
Words of my actions fail,
Gone missing in the mail;
Silent if the sentence is hard,
Imagined; if my life is scarred.
Words of my God transforms,
Even in the midst of storms;
Penetrating the hardest hearts,
Declaring where true beauty starts.
Words of my Saviour declare,
The wonder of His great care;
Forgiving what we've done to Him'
Restoring me when I was grim.
Words of His Spirit comfort,
Even through my discomfort;
Showing me His perfect way,
Giving my tongue words to say.
Hebrews 4:12 (NIV) For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
