There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.~ Proverbs 12:18Has anyone ever spoken to you rashly?
Someone did that to me this morning.
Did you feel the sword stabbed through thoroughly?
I did this morning.
What has happen to us all?
We'll bite and stab the back of another.
What will become of us, what will befall?
We'd wish hell on each other.
Oh no, we need instead words of healing,
Words that help, which soothe, which are appealing.
The words that were given this morning, I will not receive,
To the person the words I return, over them I will not grieve.
Words of healing, words of grace,
Are what I will take, are what I will embrace.
