You Are So Tender

You are so tender
So tender when I'm troubled
You are so caring
So caring when I'm mad and lonely
You break the back of my tantrums too
With three tender words, you do
You separate the right from wrong
When I feel cornered by a raging throng

You are so tender when I'm troubled
And I love that about you

Are you okay? I hear you say to me
And it makes me feel so loved
And it feels so sweet to know I have a friend
Who knows that love is patient and kind

Come unto me all of you, come home
If you're tired and depressed
I am slow to anger and rich in love
I love you more than you may know
