Patient & Kind

Lord you are patient and kind Like winter, then summer in time Thorns that were intertwined Soon wither and unwind Merciful, tender and mild You help me remain like a child Innocent, open-eyed In wonder mystified So I hold on to You Magnificent One Faithful and true Father, You dance like the wind Untethered You sing and You spin Yours is a lofty love A banner over us And Lord You are patient and kind A friend to the shamed and despised Yours is a lowly love To make Your home with us So I hold on to You Magnificent One Faithful and True Truth be told It's a heavy load And it's more than I can take When I try to bear the weight on my own Once again On You I do depend From every lie that I believed I know the truth will set my free in the end All of my failures And all of my shame All my despair and my labour in vain You laid them to rest when You walked out of the grave One by one All of my fears undone By Your mercy and Your love By the power of Your blood, I overcome Faithful and true You tore the veil in two As far as east is from the west All my failure, all my mess You removed And now I can walk in the victory You've won And now I can stand as a confident son Holy and righteous because of what You've done One by one, by one, by one One by one, by one, by one One by one, by one, by one
