More than I

Who needs patience more than I,
With failings stacked to the sky?
Others must my patience see,
For oft they must bear with me.

Who needs mercy more than I?
My sins force me now to cry,
How can I withhold from you,
What I have oft needed, too?
 
Who needs kindness more than I?
Saints have helped my tears to dry.
Shall I deny aid to them,
Who oft light a heart grown dim?
 
Who needs God's grace more than I?
Deep, faithful, and oh so high!
Christ's message was taught to me,
Shan't I help others to see?
 
Why would I refuse to give,
What I need so I may live?
Let me learn before I die,
None need these things more than I.
