Like a gentle wind can blow the clouds from the sky

Like a gentle touch can ease the pain of goodbye

Like a gentle smile embraces

Empty souls in lonely places

We should be more gentle with ourselves

Like the friend who gently builds us up when we're down

Like a gentle a kiss can turn a world all around

We've been hurt by others often

We've forgiven and forgotten

We should be as gentle with ourselves

Life can be hard

But we need not be

So hard on ourselves

If we will see

Like the shepherd leads His flock with gentle commands

With His gentle voice that only hearts understand

One thing we can know for certain

He has born the awful burdens

So we can be gentle with ourselves

One thing that I know for certain

He will bear my every burden

So I can be gentle with myself
