When you meet a negative person
Their faces look so sad
They talk about unhappy things
Always things that are bad
They never dwell on good things
They never talk things that are kind
It seems they go through life
With such bad things on their mind
If you always dwell on negative things
The things that bother you
You'll feel so very sad
You'll feel tired through and through
For always dwelling on negative things
Is not how you should be
Try to see the good in life
God offers you and me
Talk about the Saviour
And all He's done for you
Talk about the blessings
Then you won't feel so blue
Talk about the good things
That are evident in your life
Talk about the happy things
Not about the hurt and strife
So be careful when you speak
Be careful what you say
Jesus said the words we speak
For them someday we'd pay
When we speak all negative things
It affects the way we feel
It matters a lot what you say
Words can make you happy or ill
