Michael Card I Will Be Kind Lyrics
I Will Be Kind by Michael Card
I can't explain the mystery
Before I called, You answered me
And showed so great a love
That set me free
Though least deserved
You gave the most
In dark despair
You granted hope
I tried to run and still
You held me close
So now I come and ask of You
To speak the Word
To tell me true
In light of all You've done,
What should I do?
Within this new reality
Could I become
Your hands and feet?
To bear Your likeness
Act on the belief?
I'll forgive as, I've been forgiven
I will love my enemies
I'll be gracious to the ungrateful
That's the Grace You gave to me
Then only is my life complete
To speak Your Word that washes feet
Through kindness win
The victory by defeat
I'll forgive as, I've been forgiven
I will love my enemies
I'll be gracious to the ungrateful
That's the Grace You gave to me
Every debt to me
I will cancel
All my treasure
I leave behind
To the hopeless
I will be hopeful
To the cruel
I Will Be Kind!
Before I called, You answered me
And showed so great a love
That set me free
Though least deserved
You gave the most
In dark despair
You granted hope
I tried to run and still
You held me close
So now I come and ask of You
To speak the Word
To tell me true
In light of all You've done,
What should I do?
Within this new reality
Could I become
Your hands and feet?
To bear Your likeness
Act on the belief?
I'll forgive as, I've been forgiven
I will love my enemies
I'll be gracious to the ungrateful
That's the Grace You gave to me
Then only is my life complete
To speak Your Word that washes feet
Through kindness win
The victory by defeat
I'll forgive as, I've been forgiven
I will love my enemies
I'll be gracious to the ungrateful
That's the Grace You gave to me
Every debt to me
I will cancel
All my treasure
I leave behind
To the hopeless
I will be hopeful
To the cruel
I Will Be Kind!
