Full Lyrics – Teach My Heart To Listen

Verse 1

Lord the world is loud again
Voices clash hearts defend
I'm tired of talking more than I pray
Help me pause before I say

Pre-Chorus

When anger starts to rise
Remind me of Your grace inside
Let my soul be still and kind
Just like You

Chorus

Teach my heart to listen
Before I speak before I move
Teach my heart to listen
To hear Your voice to know Your truth
Slow to anger slow to pride
Quick to love and glorify
Lord teach my heart
Teach my heart to listen

Verse 2

So much hurt in every feed
Everyone wants to lead
But You said peace begins within
So change my words start deep within

Pre-Chorus

When I don't understand
Take my thoughts in Your hand
Let my heart reflect Your plan
Not my own

Chorus

Teach my heart to listen
Before I speak before I move
Teach my heart to listen
To hear Your voice to know Your truth
Slow to anger slow to pride
Quick to love and glorify
Lord teach my heart
Teach my heart to listen

Bridge

In every noise Lord be my calm
In every storm be my song
When I want to prove I'm right
Remind me love wins every fight

Final Chorus

Teach my heart to listen
Before I speak before I move
Teach my heart to listen
To hear Your voice to walk in truth
Slow to anger slow to pride
Quick to love and testify
Lord teach my heart
Teach my heart to listen

Outro

Teach my heart to listen
