Your Kindness

from Lamentation by Natalie Kendel

/

lyrics

Fear has wrapped its coils around my thinking:
painting God as threatening and hard.
But threat of punishment’s a poor incentive
to trust another with your life and heart.

And I am drawn to you just like to an whisper -
the power of a voice that needn’t shout.

It is your kindness
that leads me to repentance,
your loving patience makes room.
And when my eyes are opened
to see the one called Jesus,
that’s when my heart is stirred in me move
t’wards you.

Men have tried to share you through their methods:
wielding fear like weapons set to cut.
But Jesus kingdom doesn’t spread through hatred,
or separating everyone from ‘us’.

And I am drawn to you just like a fire,
spilling warmth and passion from your heart.

It is your kindness
that leads me to repentance,
your loving patience makes room.
And when my eyes are opened
to see the one called Jesus,
that’s when my heart is stirred in me move
t’wards you.

He defends the free will of his enemies:
to let them choose he fought to the death.
And those who would be followers of Jesus
must follow in his steps...

Kindness leads us to repentance,
and it's your patience that makes room.
And when our eyes are opened
to see the one called Jesus,
that’s when our heart is stirred in us move
Is when my heart is stirred in me to move
t’wards you.
