[Verse 1] You did not run from the road of sorrow You did not answer with angry words You held Your tongue in the hands of hatred You gave Your hurts to the heart of God [Pre-Chorus] So here I am with my rising temper All of my reasons All of my rights Teach me to stop in the heat of the moment To see Your face before I fight [Chorus] Shape my response to look like Jesus Slow my mouth And still my hands Let every wound become a window Where Your gentle mercy stands When I am pressed Let love come out Grace instead of pride and doubt Shape my response To look like You [Verse 2] You took the cross when the crowd was cursing You breathed out “Father Forgive them” there You trusted fully in quiet surrender You met their cruelty with a servant’s prayer [Pre-Chorus] I feel the sting and I want to strike back I taste the tears and I want to run But in the pause Holy Spirit whisper “Remember how He has already come” [Chorus] Shape my response to look like Jesus Slow my mouth And still my hands Let every wound become a window Where Your gentle mercy stands When I am pressed Let love come out Grace instead of pride and doubt Shape my response To look like You [Bridge] Teach me to answer with holy restraint (oh Lord) To trust the Father in every pain To stay faithful under the weight I carry Walking the road that You once walked for me [Chorus] Shape my response to look like Jesus Slow my mouth And still my hands Let every wound become a window Where Your gentle mercy stands When I am pressed Let love come out Hope instead of fear and doubt Shape my response Heart Mind And tongue Shape my response To look like You
