Talk is cheap, and words the same
If deeds don't follow, all's in vain.
A faith that's idle, cold, and bare,
Is like a tree that has no fruit to share.
So roll your sleeves up, lend a hand,
Show love and mercy in the land.
Visit the widows, help the poor,
Open your heart, and give some more.
For faith is active, strong, and bold,
A story waiting to unfold.
It's not enough to say you care,
But show compassion everywhere.
A life of service, pure and true,
Reflects the love of Christ in you.
So let your actions speak so loud,
That all the world can see the crowd.
Faith in action, not just words we say,
Living out the truth in every way.
Love in deed, for all to see,
James is calling, "Live it practically”
Words like fire, they burn and sting,
A double-edged sword that cuts so keen.
The tongue, a restless evil, full of spite,
Can darken days and steal the light.
With gentle speech, we heal the soul,
But reckless words can take their toll.
A careless phrase, a bitter lie,
Can break a heart and make it cry.
So guard your lips, and watch your tone,
Let kindness be the seed you've sown.
Speak words of life, of hope, of grace,
And fill this world with love's embrace.
For in your tongue, a power lies,
To build or break, to lift or chastise.
So choose your words with wisdom's art,
And let them heal each broken heart.
Hold your tongue, let wisdom reign,
Speak with kindness, ease the pain.
Words like fire, use them well,
In your speech, let love compel.
When trials come, and shadows loom,
And darkness fills your heart's deep room,
Remember patience, hold it near,
A virtue that will conquer fear.
For in the fire, our faith refines,
And through the storm, our spirit shines.
Each challenge faced, each burden borne,
A lesson learned, a new day born.
So let your hope be strong and true,
And trust that God will see you through.
For in the waiting, strength is found,
And on this solid, holy ground.
Your spirit grows, your heart expands,
As patience guides your weary hands.
So face the storm with steady gaze,
And walk in faith through all your days.
Through the trials, we will stand,
Patience working, hand in hand.
Growing stronger, day by day,
James is showing us the way.
