As I deal with people everywhere;
The tongue is powerful, it's true!
Something to tame and use with care.

I've seen spiteful words ruin a life
And gentle words heal and bless;

I've seen careless words stir up strife
And tender words ease distress.

I've watched silence speak out loud
And idle chatter bring mischief;
Seen timely words persuade a crowd
And hasty words end in grief.

I've seen people eat their words
Who can't seem to hold their tongue;
Watched them take the shame it affords
When they are later proved wrong.

My tongue, too, can go astray,

So, dear Lord, help me watch with care
To whom I'd speak and what I'd say,
How I'd speak and when and where.

If I could tell you

When I see you in morning,
It brightens up my day.
There are so many thoughts on my mind,
So many words I want to say.

I want to tell you how I feel

But the words I can’t find.
They are all mixed up with my thoughts,
Running through my mind.

I’ve been keeping it locked up
Because there’s no chance
You never look my way
You don’t even take a glance

I want to tell you,
You are a sunny day, without end,
And I am very privileged,
To call you My best friend
