Tender Mercy

The hardest years of my life
Have been the last two
At times I cried out with all my heart
Oh Lord, what can I do
When everything got desperate
And I felt I couldn't go another step
His hand reached out for me
And my heart wept, because

I could see, He was, always there
He had carried me
When it was too much for me to bear
His hand was in it all
There was no way for me to fall
I feel safe through the Lord's
Tender Mercy

When I look back, now I can see
Wisdom and just why it had to be
When I thought things wouldn't work out
When I thought he didn't care
I shouldn't have doubted 'cause
He was always there

I can see, He was, always there
He has carried me
When it was too much for me to bear
His hand was in it all
There's no way for me to fall
I feel safe through the Lord's
Tender Mercy

Lord, I will follow you
As you've never led me astray
I'll hold fast to your word each and every day
Lord, I don't know what lies ahead
But I trust in you

I'll give you my heart
I know you'll see me through
With you I can do anything
And be who you need me to be
Lord, give me the strength
As I seek you diligently

I could see, You were, always there
You have carried me
When it was too much for me to bear
Your hand was in it all
There's no way for me to fall
I feel safe through the Lord's
Tender Mercy
