Let Them Be More

Often I speak

But don't follow through

My mouth declares

Yet my feet don't move

My search is over

But my journey has just begun

Help me to lead others

Whether I walk or run

Don’t let them just be words
Or the thoughts that I keep

Put them into action
And make them true

Use me for your glory

As my days reflect your ways
The truth I find in You

Don't let them just be words

Help me to live them out

Not in whispers but in shouts

Though I stumble and fall

And daily I fail

In your hope I stay

That my words may be more

Pointing others to you

Helping to share the joy

Don’t let them just be words

For actions can say more

About your grace

About your love
