Verse 1
You arrive in a whisper
Stillness clothed in strength
Mercy worked its way through my being
Before I knew Your name
I’ve felt Your kindness in my bloodstream
Truth settling in slow
Like You were writing Your promise in the depths of my soul
Where my fear used to grow
Chorus
My gentle King, You meet me softly
You draw me close and stay
Your love is woven into my marrow
I am held, and safe
I lean into what is certain
Even when I cannot see
I am learning how to rest
In the care of my King
Verse 2
Faith is not always a burning
Sometimes it’s bone-deep trust
Learning to stand in Your goodness
When standing feels like dust
You speak in the quiet assurance
That doesn’t bruise or bind
You heal what You touch from the inside
Leaving nothing behind
⸻
Echo / Interlude (soft, layered, optional ad-libs)
I am held…
(held… held…)
I am safe here…
(safe here… safe here…)
In Your care…
(Your care…)

Chorus
Chorus
My gentle King, You meet me softly
You draw me close and stay
Your love is woven into my marrow
I am held, and safe
I lean into what is certain
Even when I cannot see
I am learning how to rest
In the care of my King
Bridge
No fear left unspoken
No wound You refuse
Every part of my story
Is safe here with You
Outro
If I rise, it’s because You uphold me
If I bend, it’s because You are near, Jesus.
I am kept by a mercy
That teaches my heart how to breathe
