Swift to Hear, Slow to Answer
John Michael Talbot
Wisdom
Lyrics
Be swift to hear, slow to answer
A man's words can lead to his fall
If you have knowledge, humbly answer
If not, say nothing at all
Before investigation, find no fault
Hold all within
Before you hear, hold back your answer
For in many words there seldom lacks sin
So never repeat gossip
Never repeat an evil report
Let all you hear die within you
It will not make you burst, be now assured
Admonish your friend, the story maybe slander
Do not believe every story you hear
Admonish your friend, the accused maybe innocent
And if guilty, he may not do it again
Be swift to hear, slow to answer
You will find Wisdom from God
Be swift to hear, slow to answer
You will find Wisdom from God
