Daily You're Working: A Song

Your patience is endless, your mercies are new
While in my rebellion, my life you pursued.
You showed me you're loving, that your word is true,
And daily you're working to make me like you.
Daily you're working to make me like you.

To show kindness to others as you've shown to me,
To esteem you as holy, like you holy, be.
To be perfect in love as I'm cleansed through and through,
For daily you're working to make me like you.

My heart has at times been tempted to stray
To go from the borders of your narrow way,
You've come to my rescue, and drawn me away,
And now you're conforming my heart day by day.
Now you're conforming my heart day by day.

To show kindness to others as you've shown to me,
To esteem you as holy, like you holy, be.
To be perfect in love as I'm cleansed through and through,
For daily you're working to make me like you.

By kindness and goodness, and by holy fear
You're forming my character as you draw near
I'll be in your likeness by when you appear,
As if in a mirror, you'll shine bright and clear,
As if in a mirror, you'll shine bright and clear.

I'll show kindness to others as you've shown to me,
I'll esteem you as holy, like you holy, be.
I'll be perfect in love as I'm cleansed through and through,
For daily you're working to make me like you.
Daily you're working to make me like you.
