John Michael Talbot - Prayer Lyrics

Set a guard over my mouth
On my lips a sure seal
That I may not fall through my words
Let me speak only to heal
Let me speak only to heal

Apply the lash to my thoughts
To my mind the rod of discipline
For a word is the source of every deed
And the root of the words is the mind
The root of all words is the mind

Lord Father, God of my soul
Let me not to fall like these
Abandon me not to their control

Lord Father, God of my soul
Permit me not to fall like these
Abandon me not to their control

Set a guard over my mouth
On my lips a sure seal
That I may not fall through my words
Let me speak only to heal
Let me speak only to heal
