TENDERLY
Why do you take me to the desert?
Why does my soul melt and all creation fail?
How do I wait here void of purpose?
How could you leave me all by myself?
v.1
Why do you take me to the desert?
Why does my soul melt and all creation fail?
How do I wait here void of purpose, void of means?
And fill the time appointed for me?
v.2
Why do you take me through the valley of death?
Show me your wounds as a friend of grief?
How could you leave me now all by myself, with this cross?
Redeem this loss for what it’s meant to be!
Chorus:
Then you speak tenderly, tenderly to me—
Reminding me, reminding me of your plans—
When you restore the vines, the fruit and the wine of love,
You smile,
And there will be no more sorrow no more tears…
v.3
Where is the bride that you delight in?
Where is the pearl of great price?
I’m like the other child punished and banished far away
For the sins of many… Hear my cry!
Chorus to end:
I will know your love, know the height, know the depth,
know the breadth, -- Know You….Tenderly…
