TENDER MERCY

in esteem •  7 years ago 

Yet He found me, I beheld Him
Bleeding on the accursed tree,
Heard Him pray: Forgive them,
Father! And my wistful heart said faintly :
Some of self, and some of Thee!

Day by day His tender mercy,
Healing, helping, full and free,
Sweet and strong,and,ah!so patient,
Brought me lower, while I whispered :
Less of self, and more of Thee!
