God's Gentle Touch
The broken and repentant heart
Will never harden…
For God's gentle touch will soften,
Heal, mold and pardon;
But a prideful and selfish heart
Will harden like stone…
Unable to receive God's touch,
Or precious seeds sown.
Oh, God, we need to feel Thy hand
Of mercy and love…
Thy compassion and gentleness,
Thy grace from above.
Give us broken and contrite hearts,
Ready to receive…
Thy Gentle Touch of forgiveness,
As we bow and believe.
"For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive;
and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee."
(Ps. 86: 5)
