Hearing the Humble

"Lord, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt prepare their heart, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to hear" (Psalm 10:17).

Our loving Lord hears the heart of the humble,
Even before a word has been spoken.
And He dries the tears they cry when they stumble,
Healing the sore of the heart that is broken.

Our holy Lord knows that we're not inclined
To simply retire from our foolish pride.
Yet He works in those in whom He will find
A heart with desire to let Him inside.

Oh Lord, have Your way in each situation;
Your wisdom impart, so I'll know what to do.
Lord, teach me to pray and find Your salvation,
Preparing my heart then to draw near to You.
