Tender Down Here

Lord You have pulled gold

From these embers;

Our hearts have been tested and tried.

I think I've been tired since September

And who knows how often I've cried.

But here's little me, still, surrendered

to follow your unforeseen plan

But Jesus, my heart is so tender;

So delicate there in your hand.

So as you lead on, please remember

I trust you but also there's fear.

Give strength to my heart,

 but be gentle,

For I am so tender down here.
