Lyrics to "It's Your Kindness"

Humble me O Lord

When my heart is proud

Let the righteous strike me

If I follow the crowd

A word from my sister

In and out of season

To save me from danger

Because my spirit needs it

Chorus

I need kindness

An act of a friend

Keeping watch

Over the door of my lips

Turn my eyes away 

From the trap of temptation

By your grace, turn my eyes

Back to You   

By your grace, O Christ, turn my eyes

Back to You

 

 

Can I sit at the table

If I hate correction

If I cannot tell evil

Or the fruit of deception

Let me love the Word of truth

And Your word of reproof

From a stranger or a friend 

As though it came from You

 

Bring me to the table

By the hand my friend 

Don’t let me wander

To the bitter end
