[Verse 1: Jon Steingard]
They've made me feel like a prisoner
They've made me feel set free
They've made me feel like a criminal
Made me feel like a king

[Verse 2: Jon Steingard]
They've lifted my heart
To places I'd never been
And they've dragged me down
Back to where I began

[Pre-Chorus: Jon Steingard]
Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart or
Put it out

[Chorus: Jon Steingard]
Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

[Verse 3: Bart Millard & Jon Steingard]
You can heal the heartache
Speak over the fear (speak over the fear)
God, Your voice is the only thing
We need to hear (we need to hear)
[Pre-Chorus: Bart Millard]
Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts or
Put it out

[Chorus: Jon Steingard & Bart Millard]
Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You (back to You)
Let the words I say (let the words I say)
Be the sound of Your grace (sound like Your grace)
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You (back to You)

[Chorus: Jon Steingard & Bart Millard]
Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You (back to You)
Let the words I say (let the words I say)
Be the sound of Your grace (sound like Your grace)
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You (back to You)
[Outro: Jon Steingard]
Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts
Or put it out
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
