Poems

Tender Mercies

From the January 2010 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I awake each morn to a brand-new day,
Singing Halleujah! as I go on my way,
For my heart is fixed on this one guarantee:
The Love that is All holds me tenderly.

REFRAIN:

Tender mercies, oh tender mercies,
Tender mercies are holding me.
Tender mercies, oh tender mercies,
Tender mercies are holding me.

I walk with Love through the valley of fear,
Singing Hallelujah! my Savior is here!
The desert of my longing no hope can fulfill,
But Love meets all need and bids want be still.

REFRAIN

So no matter the need and no matter the threat,
I'm secure in Your love, no fear, no regret.
Can there be a sweeter comfort, a grace more divine,
Than the thought that Your love is here and is mine?
