Lyrics Chris Tomlin

Chris Tomlin

Kindness

Open up the skies of mercy

And rain down the cleansing flood

Healing waters rise around us

And hear our cries, Lord

Let 'em rise

Open up the skies of mercy

And rain down the cleansing flood

Healing waters rise around us

And hear our cries, Lord

Let 'em rise

It's Your kindness, Lord

That leads us to repentance

Your favor, Lord

Is our desire

It's Your beauty, Lord

That makes us stand in silence

And Your love, Your love is better than life

We can feel Your mercy falling

You are turning our hearts back again

Hear our praises rise to heaven

Draw us near, Lord

Meet us here

It's Your kindness, Lord

That leads us to repentance

Your favor, Lord

Is our desire

It's Your beauty, Lord

That makes us stand in silence

And Your love, Your love

It's Your kindness, Lord

That leads us to repentance

Your favor, Lord

Is our desire

It's Your beauty, Lord

That makes us stand in silence

And Your love, Your love is better than life

It's better than life

Your love

Open up the skies of mercy

And rain down the cleansing flood

Healing waters rise around us

And hear our cries, Lord

Let 'em rise

Spoken:

Lord, we stand here as a desperate people

Hungry for the things of You

Come quiet the storms that rage all around us

So that we hear the passion that beats through Your heart

Spirit, put healing in our hands

Put life in our words

And drive a passion for the lost deep in the hearts of Your people

Inhabit the praises of us, Your children

And, Father, send us out with a reckless passion

Deliver us from evil

And set a standard of unity to break down walls and to heal Your people

Unity is the cry of Your church, Lord

Reconcile the children to the fathers

And with forgiveness and mercy, rushing through the hearts of our land

We cry out our deep need for You, Jesus

Oh, God, come in power and bring glory to Your name
