The Taming of the Tongue Lyrics

Well I should have seen it coming should've felt my flesh raging within

Should have seen where I'm heading as I'm jumping mouth first into sin

Well if you want to keep out of a fight

Gotta learn to keep your mouth shut tight

You gotta learn to shut up or learn to say it right

Oh it's small but it's strong

The taming of the tongue

Well it only takes a spark to set a fire out of control

Yeah the tongue can light a fire and the fire can consume your soul

And if we gossip in the name of the Lord

It's a prayer request honey that's all

So how come we never taught that we can say

Oh it's small but it's strong

The taming of the tongue

Well the tongue has the power to kill or the power to preserve

And we don't understand how we cut each other down with our words

Wella Wella Wella when will we work it all out

We've got to take our feet out of our mouth speak words of faith instead of doubt

Oh it's small but it's strong

The taming of the tongue
