Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
Give me a kind, forgiving heart. Let pardon be my goal. May no grudge enter in my heart to take control.
Verse 2
Give me a sweet and gentle tongue. Let kindness be my song. Keep me from words that wound and keep my tongue from wrong.
Verse 3
Give me a soul that yearns for truth, Hungering for Thy word. Help me to share the greatest story ever heard.
Verse 4
Give me a heart that longs for peace, With other men and Thee. Help me to know that peace must first begin with me.
