Scripture reference

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt... (Colossians 4:6)

Words

1. Season your words with all kindness;
Stir in compassion and grace;
Spice up your comments with patience;
Flavor your language with praise.
Season your mind with all pureness;
Mix with God's sunshine above;
Pepper your heart with His goodness;
Coat all your moments with love.

Chorus: You are the salt of the nations;
You are the seas'ning divine,
Filled with God's grace and compassion,
Letting Christ's love always shine.

2. Season your life with thanksgiving;
Blend in God's mercy and pow'r;
Spread peace and comfort in trials;
Sprinkle your journey with awe.
Season the world with the gospel;
Soak in God's word ev'ry day.
Scatter the seeds of the kingdom;
Pour out the truth of His way.
