Sweet Water Heart — Lyrics
Verse 1
Check my heart, Lord Look inside Not the shoes I wear Or the face I hide What I say What I choose Motives in my hands And the words I use
Pre-Chorus
Guard my tongue Guard my way Keep me close to You Every single day
Chorus
Sweet water, sweet water From my mouth today Sweet water, sweet water Take the bitter away Jesus, have mercy Jesus, give me grace Sweet water, sweet water Flow from a clean place
Verse 2
It’s not the outside That makes me unclean It’s what comes from the heart That You always see So I call on Jesus For timely help Keep my eyes on You Not just on myself
Bridge
Think on what is true What is noble and right Pure and lovely, too Praiseworthy in Your sight Honor my father Honor my mother Teach my heart to love One another
Bible verse · Little lesson
A verse to hide in your heart
“Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?”
Little lesson for little hearts
Words come from inside, just like water from a spring. If our hearts are bitter, our mouths will be too. But Jesus can wash our hearts clean and put His Spirit inside us — so kind, true, sweet words can flow out of us all day long.
