WHAT WE SAY DOES MATTER!

What we say does matter!
It matters very much;
We talk much about the weather
And politics and such,
But those of whom the Bible speaks
As believers of God's Word
Should speak of things eternal
As directed by the Lord.

We're told to "search the Scriptures",
To study God's written words,
And then to preach and teach them
To those who have not heard.
And those whom God has appointed
To lead and show the way
Must know the Word and teach the Word
That others may obey.

Yes, what we say does matter!
It matters very much,
For 'tis by the Word that's spoken
That lost men's souls are touched,
And 'tis by the Word that's spoken
That those things we need to know
Are communicated to us
So we'll know the way to go.
