Things Worth Saying

Things Worth Saying

I cannot ignore that I’ve been wrong before

But I must wonder if my blunders

Limit what I speak to being weak

It seems these days that we do not say

Much of anything, that can bring

Hope.

or Truth

or Light

This is our plight, failure to fight

To plead, to speak, to stand for what is right

Am I out of touch saying so much?

Is it wrong to believe, or dare to conceive…

That things are true.

To speak with confidence that there are things worth saying

To share truth with people that’s well worth weighing

Am I allowed the courage to preach that God is real

Speak to souls that He can heal

Give them truth that they can feel

Dare to risk that things are true

Bet my life on them and all I do

And stand to tell the world too.

    The only thing worth saying is the thing that is begging to be heard.

    on one level… but am trying to learn from a long line of prophets, and a rabbi, who often spoke things that were not well received.
