Before the words are spoken
before hearts are broken
Silence them Lord
close the mouths
before they open
before the words are spoken
to silence the judgment
before more damage is done
I pray You will no longer be
silent
knowing the importance about
which You speak
Do not leave the injustice
I pray this is the time
that You will speak
to speak truth to their power
to silence the judgment
before more damage is done

speak

quote
attributed to Edmund Burke,
“All that is necessary for the triumph of
evil
is that good men do nothing.”
