Weighing each Word

"But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in day of judgment" (Matthew 12:36).

There is a day we'll give account
For all the things we say.
God will reckon their amount,
And every word will weigh.

All the idle words we've said
While we are here on earth,
Before the living God are spread,
And He will weigh their worth.

A card or letter that we write
Of comfort to the weak,
Shall then be brought into the light
With every word we speak.

A word we said that wasn't true
Or thoughts that were unkind,
Shall all be weighed and in plain view
Of God's omniscient mind.

So let us also weigh what's heard
And speak the truth in love,
For God assesses every word
With perfect weights above.
