From the recording Album 8 - Titus, Philemon, Hebrews and James
Lyrics
Verse 1
You can bless with your lips or tear someone down,
Lift a soul up high or crush it to the ground.
That little flame can start a fire, burning hearts with reckless ire—
So brother, sister, think before you sound!
Chorus
🎵 Watch your words, they carry weight,
Like a river rollin’ toward heaven’s gate.
Speak with love, speak the truth, let your tongue be led by proof—
That Jesus lives inside your heart today.
Oh, watch your words… and watch your way!
Verse 2
James said, "Outta one mouth comes bitter and sweet,"
That oughta make us stop before we speak!
Can fresh and salt flow from the same stream?
No sir, friend, that ain't redeemed—
So speak with grace and let your voice bring peace!
Chorus
🎵 Watch your words, they carry weight,
Like a river rollin’ toward heaven’s gate.
Speak with love, speak the truth, Let your tongue be led by proof—
That Jesus lives inside your heart today.
Oh, watch your words… and watch your way!
Bridge
The tongue’s a tiny member,
But mighty in its sway—It can curse or it can comfort,
So choose your words and pray.
🎶 Lord, bridle my mouth,
Let me bless, not boast—Let me speak from the fire of the Holy Ghost!
Final Chorus
🎵 Watch your words, they carry weight,
Like a river rollin’ toward heaven’s gate.
Speak with love, speak the truth,
Let your tongue be led by proof—That Jesus lives inside your heart today.
Yes, Jesus lives inside your heart today!
So watch your words… and walk His way!
