Words are cheap

But incur a great cost

When they cut deep

And leave a soul lost

Sticks and stones

Will leave their marks

But straight to the bones

Go careless remarks

How can a phrase

Have the power to kill

To stop someone’s heart

Like a poisonous pill?

Words can imprison

A once carefree soul

A powerful punch

With one mighty blow

But what if my words

That carry such strength

Used that power for good

Went to great lengths

To heal those that hurt

To call to the lost

To comfort the broken

Whose lives have been tossed

What could I say

To set people free

If I had one life sentence

What would it be?

One thing I know

That outlasts the rest

One little phrase

That sums it up best

I’ll say, “I love you”

As often as I can

With words and with actions

To each child, woman, man

That crosses this path

That God made for me

No eloquent phrases

Meant to impress

Just three little words

From the heart in my chest

These words don’t cost much

But they are not cheap

They hold their great value

And meaning so deep

And so “I love you”

Is what I will say

May it be my life sentence

Forever and today

John 15:17 – This is my command: Love each other.
