Your Kindness Lyrics

Fear has wrapped its coils around my thinking

Painting God as threatening and hard.

But threat of punishment's a poor incentive to trust another with your life and heart.

And I am drawn to you just like to an whisper

The power of a voice that needn't shout.

It is your kindness that leads me to repentance

Your loving patience makes room.

And when my eyes are opened to see the one called Jesus

That's when my heart is stirred in me move t'wards you

Men have tried to share you through their methods

Wielding fear like weapons set to cut

But Jesus kingdom doesn't spread through hatred

Or separating everyone from 'us'.

And I am drawn to you just like a fire, spilling warmth and passion from your heart.

It is your kindness that leads me to repentance

Your loving patience makes room.

And when my eyes are opened to see the one called Jesus

That's when my heart is stirred in me move t'wards you

He defends the free will of his enemies: to let them choose he fought to the death.

And those who would be followers of Jesus must follow in his steps

Kindness leads us to repentance, and it's your patience that makes room.

And when our eyes are opened to see the one called Jesus,

That's when our heart is stirred in us move

Is when my heart is stirred in me to move t'wards you.
