When you speak

You do it with love

Like heaven above

You offer peace

No one will release

You brighten every day

In a special way

Your word travels far

Without leaving a scar

And you offer a smile

That last awhile

When you speak

You do so with care

It’s what you share

Your words guide

Gratitude I can’t hide

You offer a blessing

Without a lot of stressing

You reveal

What the heart can’t conceal

You set me free

You let me be me

And I gain strength

When talking with you at length

When you speak

Through laughter and tears

I see all my years

All the dreams

That made me burst at the seams

The loving heart

That gave me my start

All the love that felt like heaven above

The tender hand

That lets me stand

The long journey

Meant for me only

The swelling pride

That I cannot hide

The silent prayer

That follows me everywhere

Each and every goal

That makes me whole

The strength I gained

The life that remained

The power I feel

What the heart will reveal

And all the years

I see through my laughter and tears

Glory to God.

God works on your behalf even when you don’t feel it.
