[Verse 1]
When my patience is gone,
When my heart feels tight,
In the heat of the moment
I choose how I reply.
A gentle word brings peace,
A harsh word fans the flame,
I need You here with me, Lord,
To help me choose Your way.
[Chorus]
I turn to Jesus, I turn to Jesus,
When my strength is gone.
I turn to Jesus, I turn to Jesus,
To help me respond.
Let my words be life,
Let my words be grace,
My children are watching
Every step I take.
[Verse 2]
Wisdom speaks softly,
Truth covered in love,
Foolish words leave wounds,
But Your mercy lifts us up.
I want my voice to heal,
Not crush the ones I love,
So I lean into Your Spirit,
Teach my heart to sound like Yours.
[Chorus]
I turn to Jesus, I turn to Jesus,
When my strength is gone.
I turn to Jesus, I turn to Jesus,
To help me respond.
Let my words be life,
Let my words be grace,
My children are watching
Every step I take.
[Bridge]
You see it all, You hear it all,
The quiet prayers, the rise and fall.
Make my tongue a tree of life,
A place where weary hearts survive.
[Chorus]
I turn to Jesus, I turn to Jesus,
When my strength is gone.
I turn to Jesus, I turn to Jesus,
To help me respond.
Let my words be life,
Let my words be grace,
My children are watching
Every step I take.
[Outro]
I turn to Jesus…
I turn to Jesus…
