Swift to Hear

Verse 1:

In a world that’s always talking,

Where the noise can drown the truth,

I want to hear the quiet whisper,

Let wisdom shape my youth.

When my heart is quick to answer,

And my words are on the run,

I remember what You taught me—

Let patience be begun.

Chorus:

Swift to hear, slow to speak,

Let Your grace make my spirit meek.

Slow to wrath, teach me peace,

Let the noise of my pride cease.

Guide my heart through every test—

In Your calm, my soul finds rest.

Verse 2:

The tongue can blaze like fire untamed,

But when bridled, Lord, it bears Your Name.

So guard my lips with truth and grace,

That love, not anger, takes its place.

Your Word is light, my daily guide,

It keeps the storm from growing wide.

Chorus:

Swift to hear, slow to speak,

Let Your grace make my spirit meek.

Slow to wrath, teach me peace,

Let the noise of my pride cease.

Guide my heart through every test—

In Your calm, my soul finds rest.

Bridge:

Not every battle needs my voice,

Sometimes the silence is Your choice.

I’ll trust Your hand, I’ll wait and see,

And let Your Spirit speak through me.

Chorus:

Swift to hear, slow to speak,

Let Your grace make my spirit meek.

Slow to wrath, teach me peace,

Let the noise of my pride cease.

Guide my heart through every test—

In Your calm, my soul finds rest.

Yes, in Your calm, my soul finds rest.
