Sometimes, something as simply as a song can speak so much truth in our lives.  The other day I stumbled upon Hawk Nelson’s new single “Words,”  and thought to myself, this is how I want to live.  I want my Words to be life . be truth . point the world back to You!

Too many days go by and at the end I can’t remember who I talked to and what I let slip out of my mouth.  Our words effect people and tell them of who we serve.  Our words speak of who we are.  Don’t settle to have your words be just noise.  We were created to love and be His Voice. The only way we can be His Voice is if we die to ourselves everyday and live only for Him!  We must learn to only listen to His voice, for His voice is what carries us through, gives us confidence and directs our voice so it’s not just noise.

“Words”

Hawk Nelson

They’ve made me feel like a prisoner
They’ve made me feel set free
They’ve made me feel like a criminal
Made me feel like a king

They’ve lifted my heart
To places I’d never been
And they’ve dragged me down
Back to where I began

Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don’t wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

You can heal the heartache
Speak over the fear
(Speak over the fear)
God, Your voice is the only thing
We need to hear
(We need to hear)

Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don’t wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Let the words I say
(Let the words I say)
Be the sound of Your grace
(Sound like Your grace)
I don’t wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

I wanna speak Your love
Not just another noise
Oh, I wanna be Your light
I wanna be Your voice

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don’t wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Let the words I say
(Let the words I say)
Be the sound of Your grace
(Sound like Your grace)
I don’t wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts
Or put it out

I don’t wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

– Let’s not waste another minute not speaking His love and not being His Voice.
