It's at times like this
When a tender breath
Softly turns my ear
To a higher hemisphere
Where the Lord abides
And I've learned if I just let my spirit rise
And close my eyes
Tenderly He whispers
Calming ev'ry fear
Tenderly my heart stirs
As He lingers near
When the hurt I'm feeling
Has left my tender heart in need of healing
Quietly, tenderly He whispers
And I know He's here
When the sad world makes
Even routine things
Seem like an uphill climb
Which is lately most of the time
I turn my face to that unseen place
Where a holy gravity
Is drawing me
