A Bruised Reed

Sinner, you need not despair
God is merciful and fair
Lift your eyes; behold the Lord
Read and stand upon His Word.

God won't break a reed that's bruised
No longer will you stand accused
If true repentance fills your soul
The Lord will heal and make you whole.

Though your faith burns weak and low
God won't quench it's smoldering glow
The One Who called you by your name
Will fan the embers into flame.

Turn your back on sinful deeds
Give Jesus Christ your heart that bleeds
He's more than able to repair
Lives given to Him in prayer.
