Power

2781

Now, it may seem a bit absurd to say all power is in the word. 

 

Money is power, wealth a defence..

 

Power in the word?

 

It doesn't make sense..

 

Spoke creation into life-

 

Has the power to bring blessing or strife. 

 

To understand what's little known...

 

From the beginning, their on the throne. 

 

Life and death, the power of the tongue:

 

From the heart they write;

 

Fruit they produce, bringing death or life.

 

A little member can boast great things:

 

Better disconnected, that suffer from its sins..

 

If we think we are religious and can't bridle our tongue-

 

Vanity will not complain, until its work is done.

 

The tongue is a fire piercing like a sword..

 

Listen very carefully for every idle word.

    With you at "Money is power, wealth a defence". After that I was a little lost....

    Felt it though....

      Idle power, the workhouse of the power of the devil.

      In the beginning was the word and the word was God. The word has more power than most grant. Good write
