Strong, Gentle Children
Author: Daniel Charles Damon, 1955- Meter: 5.6.10 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Strong, gentle children,
God made you beautiful,
gave you the wisdom and power you need;
speak in the stillness
all you are longing for;
live out your calling to love and to lead.

angry and terrified,
open the secrets your life has concealed;
though you are wounded,
know you are not to blame;
cry out your story till truth is revealed.

honor the wisdom God gave you at birth;
speak to your elders
