Tenderness
[Verse]
I wrapped my affection
Into lovers other than
The face-to-face attention
That You give and give again
You don't celebrate perfection
More than perfect unity
Full communion with the Father
Is all the air I need

[Chorus]
I'm right here in
Your tenderness
Your tenderness, oh-oh
I'm right here in
Your tenderness
Your tenderness

[Verse]
I wrapped my affection
Into lovers other than
The face-to-face attention
That You give and give again
You don't celebrate perfection
More than perfect unity
Full communion with the Father
Is all the air I need
[Chorus]
I'm right here in
Your tenderness
Your tenderness, oh-oh
I'm right here in
Your tenderness
Your tenderness, oh-oh

[Bridge 1]
Let's break down all the cycles
That started in my mind
You've been so patient with me
To heal me every time
Let's break down all the cycles
That started in my mind
You've been so patient with me
To heal me every time
Let's break down all the cycles, yeah-yeah-yeah
That started in my mind
You've been so patient with me
To heal me every time
Let's break down all the cycles, yeah-yeah-yeah
That started in my mind
You've been so patient with me
To heal me every time
[Chorus]
And I'm right here in
Your tenderness
Your tenderness, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm right here in
Your tenderness
Your tenderness, oh-oh-oh

[Bridge 1]
And those who sow in tears will
Reap with songs of joy
Keep me in this place 'til
My heart, You restore
Those who sow in tears will
Reap with songs of joy
Keep me in this place 'til
My heart, You restore
Those who sow in tears will
Reap with songs of joy, oh-oh-oh
And keep me in this place 'til
My heart, You restore

[Chorus]
I'm right here in
Your tenderness
Your tenderness, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm right here in
Your tenderness
Your tenderness, oh-oh-oh
[Bridge 2]
And I know You see me
I know You hear me
And I know You've called me
As Your own
And I know You see me
I know You hear me
And I know You've called me
As Your own

[Chorus]
I'm right here in
Your tenderness
Your tenderness, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm right here in
Your tenderness
Your tenderness

[Outro]
And I'm not going anywhere
Oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Yeah
