Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Love is a verb, has action you should know
Actions speaks louder than words
You may  say your gonna do something
But you're still sitting in your reclinner
Actions speaks louder than words
That pot you've got on the stove will burn
Actions speaks louder than words
On the football field the coach calls the plays
But actions speaks louder than words
I'm a sinner, saved by grace I've repented
But actions speaks louder than words
You said "I do" as well as "I love you"...
But actions speak louder than words
You say you can, as well as you can't...
But actions speaks louder than words
To build a brick house you need workers, mortar, brick and stone
Alas, actions speaks louder than words
Your driving you run a stop sign, get pulled over by a policeman
But actions speak louder than words
You brag and boast that you can cook, yet you can't even boil water
You stand in front of the stove and you don't even know
How to turn the eye on
Actions speaks louder than words
Now you may read these lines, comment and say their find
Your actions speaks louder than words
