A silent smile

The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world (Psalm 19:1-4; NLT).

1. A silent smile,
A silent tear,

2. A silent hug,
A silent touch,

3. A silent prayer,
A silent sigh –

4. If full of love,
Can mean so much.

Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them.
(Romans 12:9; NLT).
