Lyrics
A SOFT ANSWER © 1999 Eva Fry
Chorus
A soft answer is the answer
For bringing peace to our life
A soft answer is the answer
To bring harmony to our homes
Repeat Chorus
A happy home is what we want
We each must do our part
When someone asks a question
That we do not like
Don?t yell back an answer
With anger in your heart
Or we?ll all be fighting
That?s no fun at all
Chorus repeat
When we?re really angry
Amd scream at someone else
All that ever happens
They scream back at us
Now we have two problems
One we started with
And a brand new one
Someone?s mad at us
Chorus repeat
When anger is a problem
And we hurt inside
It does not solve the problem
To fight with someone else
We just need to walk away
Or bite our tongues
Until we have time to think
And use a quiet voice
Repeat Chorus
Our loving Heavenly Father
Said ?contention?s not of me?
It is one of Satan?s tools
Which we should not use
When things really bother us
Ask Father for his help
Then we can communicate
With a loving voice.
Repeat Chorus
