Cântăre In tenderness he sought me

In Tenderness He Sought Me

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

IN TENDERNESS HE SOUGHT ME

WEARY AND SICK WITH SIN

AND ON HIS SHOULDERS BROUGHT ME

BACK TO HIS FOLD AGAIN

WHILE ANGELS IN HIS PRESENCE SANG

UNTIL THE COURTS OF HEAVEN RANG



OH THE LOVE THAT SOUGHT ME

OH THE BLOOD THAT BOUGHT ME

OH THE GRACE THAT BROUGHT ME

TO THE FOLD

WONDROUS GRACE THAT BROUGHT ME

TO THE FOLD



HE WASHED THE BLEEDING SIN WOUNDS

AND POURED OIL AND WINE

HE WHISPERED TO ASSURE ME

"I'VE FOUND YOU, YOU ARE MINE,"

I NEVER HEARD A SWEETER VOICE

IT MADE MY ACHING HEART REJOICE



HE POINTED TO THE NAIL©PRINTS

FOR ME HIS BLOOD WAS SHED

A MOCKING CROWN SO THORNY

WAS PLACED UPON HIS HEAD

I WONDERED WHAT HE SAW IN ME

TO SUFFER SUCH DEEP AGONY



I'M SITTING IN HIS PRESENCE

THE SUNSHINE OF HIS FACE

WHILE WITH ADORING WONDER

HIS BLESSINGS I RETRACE

IT SEEMS AS IF ETERNAL DAYS

ARE FAR TOO SHORT TO SOUND

HIS PRAISE



SO WHILE THE HOURS ARE PASSING

ALL NOW IS PERFECT REST

I'M WAITING FOR THE MORNING

THE BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST

WHEN HE WILL CALL US TO HIS SIDE

TO BE WITH HIM

HIS SPOTLESS BRIDE.
