Psalms 51:15

O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

When our HEARTS are opened to the LORD, then our LIPS will be opened to His praise. We are all very eloquent. If we get a pay raise, or if our team scores a touchdown, we can become very expressive, our face lights up and we are VERY communicative. The SAME is true in the CHRISTIAN life. The song says, “If you’re saved and you KNOW it, then your life will surely SHOW it.” When you are living a life surrendered to the will of God and are walking in the Spirit, joy fills your HEART, and our blessed LORD fills your LIPS with His praise. “Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.” Psalm 150:6.
