[Verse 1]
Gentle and lowly, patient and kind
Ever approachable, saviour of mine
All of my weakness meets your embrace,
Failure and sin meet compassion and grace
[Chorus]
Gentle and lowly,
Patient and kind
Ever approachable, saviour of mine
[Verse 2]
Seeing my suffering, knowing my fear
Mercy compels you in love to draw near
Joy without measure flows through your soul
Taking my burdens and bearing them all!
[Chorus]
Seeing my suffering, knowing my fear
Mercy compels you in love to draw near
[Verse 3]
Humble redeemer there on the tree
Nothing could stop you from suffering for me
Speechless in wonder, angels above
Never had seen such self-emptying love!
[Chorus]
Humble redeemer there on the tree
Nothing could stop you from suffering for me
[Verse 4]
Gentle and lowly, patient and kind
No other saviour like Jesus I find
Though my heart changes, yours never does
Ever unchanging compassion and love!
[Chorus]
Gentle and lowly, patient and kind
No other saviour like Jesus I find
[Outro]
