Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Father, compassionate and tender
Your ears are ever open to my prayers
Father, You feed the crying ravens
You daily lift the burdens that I bear
So I will thank You for Your mercy
CHORUS
You gave Your Son
Righteous One for the defiled
You gave Your Son
By His blood we’re reconciled
To our God
VERSE 2
Father, You know that I grow weary
I need You to draw near me and be my strength
Father, I long to know Your presence
For You’re the joy of heaven and my King
So I will thank You for Your mercy
BRIDGE
Whom have I in heaven but You
And none on earth compares with You
