A bruised reed You will not break And a smoldering wick You will not snuff out You have supported those who stumbled For You are a father to the fatherless Sad and alone widows You defend The lonely You set in families that comfort them You are close to those with broken hearts For You are the help to the helpless By Your wounds we are healed The punishment bringing us peace was upon You You gave Your precious life for the sinners For You are the hope to the hopeless Who I am To deserve this merciful reservoir Who I am To get hold of the world upholder I become who I am Not because of who I am But because of who You are |
