a tender heart

Give me Lord, a tender heart
a heart that's not on guard
gentleness and humility
the ability to love set free

Give me Lord, a heart so tender
ever patient ever gentle
quick to see the need around me
quick to sense you nudging me
always willing, surrendering
my own needs abandoning

Give me Lord a heart so tender
unafraid to surrender
it's been a while since I've cried
doesn't matter how I've tried

So Give me Lord a tender heart
a heart that's true, never hard
I want to be more than smart
holy humble and contrite
I know I struggle and I fight
please Lord - let me do what's right

Give me Lord a tender heart
a heart that worships from the start
ever longing to be broken
giving more than just a token

Give me Lord a tender heart
I need O Lord a tender heart
Now Lord - before I shrivel
I beg you Father to deliver
Please Lord a tender heart
ever Lord - not on guard
