I Turn To Jesus

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I turn to Jesus…

I turn to Jesus…
