Lord, Give Me Words

Lord, give me words so I can praise
Your worthy Name, I pray,
For You are holy, good, and kind
And care for me each day.

Lord, give me words so I can lift
The weary soul to You,
For words can comfort, heal, revive
When gracious, kind, and true.

Lord, give me words so I can point
The lost to life above,
For Jesus died and rose again
To offer saving love.

Lord, set a watch before my mouth
So I will only say
The things that please and honor You
And bring You joy today.
