1 Speak just a word for your Master and your Lord,
Speak just a word, speak just a word;
Stand in His name, let your loyal voice be heard;
Speak just a word for Jesus.
Speak just a word, oh, confess your Savior King;
He listens, listens near;
Oh, never, never fear;
Come, to His altar a sacrifice to bring,
Speak just a word for Jesus.
2 Speak just a word when about your daily task,
Speak just a word, speak just a word;
He giveth grace unto all who truly ask,
Speak just a word for Jesus.
He calls you friend, oh, the wonders of His grace!
He listens, listens near;
Oh, never, never fear;
Talk of your Lord and His love in ev’ry place,
Speak just a word for Jesus.
3 Speak just a word, for wherever you may go,
Speak just a word, speak just a word;
Sad hearts are longing the way of life to know,
Speak just a word for Jesus.
Some little word He may use to cheer and bless,
He listens, listens near;
Oh, never, never fear;
Some little word He may use to cheer and bless
Speak just a word for Jesus.
4 Speak just a word, if a “cross” it seems to be,
Speak just a word, speak just a word;
Think of the true cross upraised on Calvary,
Speak just a word for Jesus.
Lift up the banner of Him who died for you,
He listens, listens near;
Oh, never, never fear;
He calls for witnesses, loyal hearts and true,
Speak just a word for Jesus.
