The Gift of Tears

Tears bring relief to a heavy heart A heart clogged with unspoken sorrows Why do we wish that tears would depart? Tears heal the soul like a lush, green meadow God has given us the gift of tears No tears that wet His feet are wasted Cry if you must; without shame and fear Christ comforts the broken-hearted Divine tears fell at Gethsemane Can you feel the anguish of Christ's tears? Tears and blood mingled in agony Because of Christ, to God, we can draw near Tears brought relief to my heavy heart A heart clogged with unexpressed sorrows God's love has caused sorrows to depart God's love gives me hope for tomorrow
