Even as a broken reed
Some are weak and much in need.
Jesus, by His gentle hand,
Will lift the reed so it may stand.
His compassion and His grace,
His loving care and strong embrace,
Will cause the reed to have new health
And fill the reed with wisdom's wealth.
Though the reed was bended low,
With new knowledge it will grow
Into a planting strong and tall...
One which will not bend or fall.
Though strong winds blow or bring new threat
All it's nurture will be met.
For Jesus looks upon the needs
Of tiny, struggling, tender reeds.
"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you..."
James 4:8 KJV
