After Pentecost     Pentecost 16     Matthew 21:23-32, particularly verses 28-32

Actions speak louder than words (YA No 69)

In Jesus we can see his words

Were all confirmed by deed;

Much shallow talk was not his way,

He ministered to need.

 

Our pious words without good deeds

Expose dishonesty;

They promise much, deliver naught,

Are rank hypocrisy.

 

Kind words can really come to life

When coming from the heart;

But if they are not acted out

They’re phoney from the start.

 

By love we live our spoken prayers;

In love we aim to be

The living language of our faith

In deeds of ministry.
