I came to You tired and weary,
With dust on my knees from the broken road
Every prayer felt fragile in my mouth
But You already knew
I didn’t have the words to say
I only had the ache in my soul
And You gathered me into Your arms.
And Your mercy met me there.
You didn’t rush me through my sorrow
You didn’t ask me why I strayed
You looked at me with patient eyes
And called me by my name
Chorus
You are filled with lovingkindness
You are mercy drawing near
I stand in awe within Your presence
You are the King of Glory and you call me a friend.
Jesus, You are gentle
Father, You are kind
My King who stoops to carry
What I’ve tried to leave behind
I come to You like a child
Unsure but unafraid
And every part of me remembers
I was always safe, every single day of my life
Verse 2
I rest in Your faithfulness
Like a story You’ve already told
Every promise written into me
Before I ever knew
You don’t keep count of my failures
You don’t remind me where I’ve been
You lift my face toward the light
And say, “My beloved, You are Mine.”
You teach my heart a better language
Than shame or self-defense
You love me slow and constant
With you, my heart learns to beat again
Chorus
You are filled with lovingkindness
You are mercy drawing near
I stand in awe within Your presence
You are the King of Glory and you call me a friend.
Jesus, You are gentle
Father, You are kind
My King who guards my footsteps
When I’m learning how to trust again
I come to You like a child
No strength left to pretend
And every breath becomes a surrender
Held inside Your hands
Bridge
Only kindness in your voice
Only healing Your love
Only truth whispered to me when my mind doesn’t know which way to go
I am chosen
I am loved
I am held by the hands that formed it all
You don’t love me from a distance
You don’t wait for me to rise
You meet me low and lift me up
With compassion in Your eyes
Final Chorus / Outro
So I stay within Your mercy
Let it shape me, let it heal
Every part of me learning
How it feels to finally feel
Jesus, You are gentle
Father, You are kind
My King who chose to love me
Before I ever chose You back
I am no longer lost
I am fully found
Amazing grace,
How sweet the sound.
