If These Walls Could Speak

If these walls could speak and the stories we could hear

If the pews recorded every time you weren't here

If the winds did carry the faintest whispers of your heart

If the night did echo with the fears tearing your faith apart

If in the roaring waves we heard your insecurity

If the thunder rolled out your doubts and questions of my ministry

If the fiery flames displayed your sins in their shadow

To this gospel would you hold or would you fly like a wayward arrow

Would you only stand strong in me

When the trees sang out your victories

If the clouds began pouring out disaster

Would you still be here long after

If the sound of the rain coming down with a splash

Resounded the times my will and yours clash

If the mountains boomed with the sound of your failure

Would you leave my way filled with anger

If the world was against you and the weather turned gray

Would you leave in search of sunshine or with my people would you stay

For of lukewarm saints I have no need

I only want those that will sow my seed

So if these walls could speak and my righteous thoughts they told

Would they list you among the ones that will come forth as pure gold

So what would these walls say if they could really shout

What kind of saint would be described if you they called out?

It's a very daunting thought to think what could happen if everything around us could speak. It would change our lives to know that at every moment something was recording out actions, words, even our very thoughts. How would we behave it that were possible. Yet, that is truly the case. God sees all those things and more. It's a thought we need to keep before us each day. We are the temple of God. We are His representation in the earth. If the things of this earth could speak, what would they say?
