Tender Mercies

Just when the night turns its darkest,
Just when the wind howls its worst;
Just when you almost have given up hope,
Just when you think you’re at the end of your rope,

He sends his tender mercies, Undeserved and ever-flowing.
Tender mercies, That sustain your soul,  and keep you knowing
That no matter what, he’s always there,
And you’re always in his constant care,
Tender mercies.

Just when the world you’ve known is ending,
When you once again crash into yet another wall,
Just when you think you’ve reached your limit at last,
When you honestly believe that all your good days are past,

He sends his tender mercies, Undeserved and ever-flowing.
Tender mercies, That sustain your soul, and keep you knowing
That no matter what, he’s always there,
And you’re always in his constant care,
Tender mercies.

We grow stronger and stronger,
With every passing day,
Though the journey gets longer and longer,
We know he is there for us, all the way, with his

Tender mercies, Undeserved and ever-flowing.
Tender mercies, That sustain your soul, and keep you knowing
That no matter what, he’s always there,
And you’re always in his constant care,
And there’s really nothing we can’t bear,

Nourished by his daily, tender mercies, tender mercies,
Tender mercies – His tender mercies.
