Hidden deep inside, thoughts unspoken die unborn
What the heart is full of will our minds adorn
A good man brings out good things to our great delight
An evil man brings evil things out of his dark night

Even a fool is thought wise if he doesn’t speak
Men will give account to God, their words He will critique
By our talk, we’ll be judged on that fateful day
Did God’s Word direct our life and did we then obey?

Oh, that we might listen as we seek God’s face
It would be the difference of wisdom or disgrace
God has much to say to us, will we be still to hear?
Humbling our heart’s attitude will make His Words more clear

Matthew 12:34-37 – “You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Proverbs 17:28 – “Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.”

Proverbs 17:3 – “The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.”
