Jehovah So Humble

You stoop from the heavens to lift up the meek,
You cherish the ones whom the proud call weak.
From dust and from ashes you raise them high,
Their tears turn to joy as you draw them nigh. 

You listen in kindness when hearts pour out,
A refuge in storms, calming fear and doubt.
Like Father who runs when a lost one cries,
You welcome us back and you dry our eyes. 

Jehovah, so humble, so mighty, so near,
You call us by name, making each one dear.
Your kindness forever and ever will remain,
Jehovah’s humility soothes every pain.

Your judgments are firm, yet your heart is kind,
No trace of conceit in your loving mind.
Enthroned far above every land and sea,
Yet humble you look on the lowly knee. 

Reasonable God, you will bend and hear,
You yield when it harms neither truth nor fear.
You listened to ones who in sorrow pled,
And gently you changed what your servant dread. 

Jehovah, so humble, so mighty, so near,
You call us by name, making each one dear.
Your kindness forever and ever will remain,
Jehovah’s humility soothes every pain.

So patient you wait while the good news spreads,
Desiring that hearts turn from stubborn threads.
You hold back the storm of the judgment day,
So more can find life in your loving way. 

You honor the ones that the world overlooks,
You loosen the chains where sin tightly hooks.
To shepherds by night you once sent your light,
You still crown the lowly with glory bright.

Jehovah, so humble, so mighty, so near,
You call us by name, making each one dear.
Your kindness forever and ever will remain,
Jehovah’s humility soothes every pain.

Your Son walked the earth with a gentle tone,
Reflecting the love from your heavenly throne.
He welcomed the weak and the ones cast out,
Restoring their worth, taking away doubt. 

We long to be humble the way you are,
To mirror your heart like a guiding star.
Approachable, mild, putting self aside,
So others feel safe when they come confide. 

Jehovah, so humble, so mighty, so near,
You call us by name, making each one dear.
Your kindness forever and ever will remain,
Jehovah’s humility soothes every pain.

Though high you may be, you still bend to see,
The ones who feel crushed, praying silently. 
You whisper, “You’re precious, my dear, do not fear,”
And draw us still closer, to keep us near. 

Jehovah, so humble, so mighty, so near,
You call us by name, making each one dear.
Your kindness forever and ever will remain,
Jehovah’s humility soothes every pain.
Jehovah’s humility soothes every pain.
