Lyrics
Verse
When I feel angry, I can choose,
Kind words are better words to use.
When I make wrong, I tell the truth,
Mercy can help a heart renew.
Chorus
Yahweh, teach my heart the good,
Help me act the way I should.
Love my neighbour, speak what is true,
Give the care I hope comes back to you.
Bridge
Soft can grow to strong and bright,
Truth can lead us toward the light.
Teacher / Arrangement Direction
Use a five-finger keyboard pattern. Let students hear tension and release without labelling emotions as caused by the frequencies.
