Mouths open wide on deaf ears
The constant flood of the things we hear
When silence is uncommon from our lips
And careless tongues let fly unfaithful words
What has all this gained, but distance from You, Lord
And distance from what You desire for us
Rid us of all this
Instill in us Your Word
Rid us of all this
Instill in us Your Saving Word
Arms lifted high - hearts far removed
Oh the ceaseless list of the things we do
When stillness is a foreign task we try
And anger turns our every step from You
Open our ears to the words You speak
Lord, we are listening
Bend low our bodies before Your throne
We seek Your mercy
