Tears...........

Oh God, how oft we shed our tears
Upon life’s narrow road
They represent both joys and fears
Discouragement and hope
But there is not a tear that falls
That escapes Your gaze
Oh Lord God, You see them all
As they stream down our face

Oh God, just once You shed Your blood
Upon a cruel cross
Crimson teardrops poured in love
For man’s most hopeless loss
And now, though weary tears may flow
As life’s suffering we view
There is no suffering we may know
That You did not suffer too

As we bow before You then
And pour our hearts to You
Your Spirit speaks from deep within
To comfort and renew
For You will never leave our side
Your changeless love is sure
Just once You shed Your blood and died
So we may be secure

Oh Lord God, in this confidence
Keep us strong and steady
We know not when You’ll come again
We need but to be ready
You have promised in your Word
As we meet You someday
You will banish every hurt
And wipe our tears away

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Re. 21:4


It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 1 Pet. 3:17
