Speak Life
Ezekiel was a prophet he was against self destruction
He was sent to give the people words of life and positive instruction
But the people would not listen to him nor heed his words
Until he told them about the Valley of Dry Bones and what he had heard
In the Valley of Dry Bones amid the death and the strife
In the Valley of Dry Bones God gave the breath of life
In today's society you see despair, the bleak and the living dead
and when we look at the youth of today we perceive them as being air heads
We come at them with negativity and their attitudes we reject
As adults we must learn to speak life to them with positivity and respect
We tend to forget the time before when we were saved
We've forgotten how far we've come from
We tend to misconstrue the teachings and forgiving nature
of God's only begotten Son
As adults we tend to overlook our own share of youthful failures and mistakes
We need to demonstrate some compassion and share some give and take
Because It's different does not mean It's worse for everyone is not the same
We must learn to appreciate each others individuality for life is a constant change
In the Valley of Dry Bones God showed the power of His authority
In the Valley of Dry Bones He spoke life and gave the victory
Since words are man's primary source of communication
Words are what we use to express our situations
Peculiar, weird of different does not necessarily mean bad
Remember when people thought the ideals of Jesus Christ's were mad
To speak in the positive doesn't make you cocky or arrogant
For speaking words of life is God's preference
But It's not enough to just speak life, you must live it as well
It's not enough to just speak life, It's about show and tell
As we go about in life we need to comprehend and understand
That we need to read the manual on God's life living plans
The B.I.B.L.E., the basic instructions before leaving earth
Study the words and positively apply them to the life God wants you to live first
It matters not where you go in this world
nor what you decide to do
It matters only that what you do is for Christ
and you follow the destiny for you He did choose
It's about praying and talking every day to the Lord Jesus Christ
It's about positive validation, It's about speaking life
