Music Monday: Speak Life

Just this past weekend, we bought a new CD of tobyMac's called "Eye On It". We like tobyMac in our home, the kids reallllly enjoy his pseudo-rap style, dance music and we like the Christian lyrics. One song that I heard from the new CD really spoke to me. It's called "Speak Life", I really like the idea that I can speak life and truth into the heart of another person that really needs to hear it! What a privilege that God has given us! I hope you will go and speak life today!

TOBYMAC - SPEAK LIFE

Some days life feels perfect
Other days, it just ain’t workin’
The good, the bad, the right, the wrong
And everything in between

You it’s crazy, amazing
We can turn our heart through the words we say
Mountains crumble with every syllable
Hope you live or die

So speak life, speak life
To deadest darkest night
Speak life, speak life
When the sun won’t shine and you don’t know why
Look into the eyes of the broken hearted
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope
You speak love, you speak..
You speak life
You speak life

Some days the tongue gets twisted
Other day my thoughts just fall apart
I do, I don’t, I will, I won’t
It’s like I’m drowning in the deep

Well, it’s crazy to imagine
Words from my lips as the arms of compassion
Mountains crumble with every syllable
Hope you live or die

So speak life, speak life
To deadest darkest night
Speak life, speak life
When the sun won’t shine and you don’t know why
Look into the eyes of the broken hearted
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope
You speak love, you speak..
You speak life
You speak life

Lift your head a little higher
Spread the love like fire
Hope will fall like rain
When you speak life with the words you say
Raise your thoughts a little higher
Use your words to inspire
Joy will fall like rain when you speak life with the things you say

Lift your head a little higher
Spread the love like fire
Hope will fall like rain
When you speak life with the words you say

So speak life, speak life
To deadest darkest night
Speak life, speak life
When the sun won’t shine and you don’t know why
Look into the eyes of the broken hearted
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope
You speak love, you speak..
You speak life
You speak life
You speak life
You speak life

Some days life feels perfect

Psalm 19:14
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Proverbs 25:11

A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

1 Thessalonians 4:17-18

After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. ¹⁸ Therefore encourage one another with these words.

1 Peter 4:11
If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
