"The tongue of the wise is health.... To the counselors of peace is joy.... Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad" (Proverbs 12:18,20,25).
Hearts are heavy, stooping low,
Most everywhere we look.
But we may share the peace we know
From God's amazing Book.
Oh, what an opportunity
To share a Word that's good!
And what responsibility
To share, as well we should!
We dare not look the other way
Until another dawn
To say the Word that we should say;
That soul may then be gone.
Counselors of peace have joy
They surely should be sharing,
So may the Gospel they employ
Be preached to those despairing.
Yes, heaviness within the heart
Shall always make it sad.
But counselors of peace impart
The Word that makes it glad.
