Speak Life!

Speak Life!

I love to write about lyrics because often the words melt into the music.  A good song produces words that stand alone, with or without music.  The message is so important!  The song written by Tobymac leaves an imprint on my heart, because I have been torn down and lifted up by words. Haven't we all been impacted in some way by someone's words?  

It is true some days go almost perfectly, and then you have a day that just doesn't work out? It is so important to speak life because with our words we can produce the power to turn someone's heart.  Matthew 10:19&20.  Lean on our Savior, because He always has the perfect words for the perfect time and day.  The time is now!  

Yes, hope can live or die by what we say.  If we could only see that our words are the arms of compassion.  A comfort! A hope to the brokenhearted.  As we spread love with what we say, joy will fall like rain.  Walls fall with every word of life we say.  Psalms 16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.  Let there be life, let there be hope!  In Matthew 17 Jesus said, if you only have the faith of a small mustard seed, your word shall move a mountain and nothing shall be impossible for you. His glory exceeds condemnation, it supersedes the engraved stone, it crushes death.  His countenance is life!  Oh take time to speak life!

Proverbs 8:35 Heart Homework - Speak Life! 

lyrics of Tobymac

Lift your head a little higher,
Spread the love like fire,
Hope will fall like rain,
When you speak life with the words you say.

Raise your thoughts a little higher,
Use your words to inspire,
Joy will fall like rain,
When you speak life with the things you say.

Some days, life feels perfect.
Other days it just ain't workin.
The good, the bad, the right, the wrong
And everything in between.

Though it's crazy, amazing
We can turn a heart with the words we say.
Mountains crumble with every syllable.
Hope can live or die

So speak Life, speak Life.
To the deadest darkest night.
Speak life, speak Life.
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why.
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted;
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope,
You speak love, you speak...
You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Some days the tongue gets twisted;
Other days my thoughts just fall apart.
I do, I don't, I will, I won't,
It's like I'm drowning in the deep.

Well it's crazy to imagine,
Words from our lips as the arms of compassion,
Mountains crumble with every syllable.
Hope can live or die.

So speak Life, speak Life.
To the deadest darkest night.
Speak life, speak Life.
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why.
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted;
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope,
You speak love, you speak...
You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)


Lift your head a little higher,
Spread the love like fire,
Hope will fall like rain,
When you speak life with the words you say.

So speak Life, speak Life.
To the deadest darkest night.
Speak life, speak Life.
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why.
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted;
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope,
You speak love, you speak...
You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Some days life feels perfect.
