"Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord... I also have heard thee, saith the Lord" (2 Kings 22:19). "Lord, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt prepare their heart, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to hear" (Psalm 10:17).
Tenderhearted soul, rejoice,
For God will hear your prayers!
Indeed, before He hears your voice,
Your heart He first prepares.
How loving is God's tender hand
That works within the heart,
That in our meekness we may stand
And from our pride depart.
For when our sinful pride exists
That we do not confess,
We find the pride that God resists,
Though He would rather bless.
Lord, keep our hearts revived and tender
By that which You allow.
From pride, oh Lord, be our Defender,
And humbleness endow.
