One

One drop of food color Can change the appearance Of a cup of water instantly One word in love Can change the heart Of mankind in an instant One spark of a flame Can start a Forrest ablaze One small rudder Can guide direction of large ship One bit in the mouth of an horse Can control this large animals direction One small tongue of mankind Tells where the soul is seeking Only to be tamed by the spirit One drop of blood Shook the earth Birthing a way to escape death In all the labor pains That this world endures Giving reason for heaven to rejoice In bringing the kingdom Unto the hearts of mankind One drop of the spirit Can begin to create a new living being Gathering unto One flock Being called together by One Shepard Unto the One almighty heavenly Father When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. James 3:3?-?10 NIV
