Children's Song Lyrics
Feelings Aren't the Boss
A truth-filled children's song reminding young hearts that feelings are real, but they do not get the final say. Jesus leads, and God's Word stays steady.
Feelings can talk. Jesus leads.
Children feel deeply. They can wake up heavy, become afraid without knowing why, feel angry before they understand what happened, or be pulled around by thoughts that seem loud in the moment.
This song helps children see that feelings should not be ignored, but they also should not become the boss. The heart needs the truth of God's Word, the help of prayer, and the steady leadership of Jesus Christ.
The goal is simple: help young hearts learn to pause, pray, listen to the Lord, and follow truth instead of every feeling that passes through the mind.
God's Word is steadier than feelings.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:9 KJV
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Galatians 5:16 KJV
Feelings Aren't the Boss
Verse 1
Woke up with a heavy feeling
Don't know where it came from
One minute I'm fine, next minute
Everything feels wrong
My heart's going fast for no reason
Thoughts running circles in my head
Every feeling's talkin' loud
Telling me what I should be instead
Pre-Chorus
But I remember what You told me
When my mind starts spinning around
Feelings can talk all day
But they don't get to run this town
Chorus
My feelings aren't the boss of me
They don't get to lead my way
I don't have to follow every thought
That shows up in my brain
My feelings aren't the boss of me
They don't get the final say
I listen close, then I choose
Jesus, I'm gonna follow You
Hook
Feelings talk — Jesus leads
Feelings talk — Jesus leads
Feelings talk — Jesus leads
That's the truth I'm gonna believe
Verse 2
Some days I feel really angry
Some days I feel afraid
Some days I don't even know
Why my smile just fades
They tell me "trust your feelings"
"Just go with what feels right"
But You say truth don't change
Even on my hardest nights
Pre-Chorus
You remind me I don't have to panic
I don't have to choose in a rush
I can stop and pray and listen
To the voice I know I trust
Chorus
My feelings aren't the boss of me
They don't get to lead my way
I don't have to follow every thought
That shows up in my brain
My feelings aren't the boss of me
They don't get the final say
I listen close, then I choose
Jesus, I'm gonna follow You
Bridge
When my heart feels loud
And my mind feels torn
Your Word stays steady
Like it's always been
I don't deny what I'm feeling
I just don't let it decide
I give it all to Jesus
And let Him lead my life
Final Chorus
My feelings aren't the boss of me
They don't get to lead my way
I don't have to follow every thought
That shows up in my brain
My feelings aren't the boss of me
They don't get the final say
I listen close, then I choose
Jesus, I'm gonna follow You
Outro
Feelings talk — Jesus leads
Feelings talk — Jesus leads
Yeah...
Jesus leads
Song Note:
Feelings Aren't the Boss teaches children that emotions are real, but God's truth is a better guide than changing feelings. The song encourages children to bring their emotions to Jesus and follow His Word.
