Wisdom of Tenderness

This is one of my favorite songs by Crystal Lewis. It so sweetly encourages me and corrects me...

I'm free
'Cause Jesus loves me
In spite of my being weak
I know my Abba He delights in me

I see
everything differently
My brokenness has been kissed
away by His grace

This wisdom of tenderness is
Accepting that I am His
Taking the fierce love He gives And living it, Living it
Believing that I am beloved
Finding I'm free because of it
Unconditionally giving love
The wisdom of tenderness

Do I spend my days loving?
Do I spend them judging?
Do I point my finger or open my arms

Do my words convey my faith
Do all of my ways measure up to the things that I say

Chorus

My faith is known
By the love that I'm shown
That is the way
They will know
I'm His own
