Edifying Speech - Ephesians 4: 29
God glorifying words so in lack
such desires seem not at heart
this is abhorrence to God's law
which commands perfection not a part
The one who commands such things
is perfect in character and holiness
absolutely without flaw or blemish
for He offers redemptive blessedness
So be sure to speak wholesomeness
such communication that's truly pure
words that hold you up respectfully
knowing this God forever will endure
Edifying speech is its result
for it will produce edifying grace
to edify all hear such words
then God and truth do embrace
Ephesians 4:29 (KJV)
( 29. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.)
