These Tears

These tears that you see Running down my cheeks Bathing my face... They don’t disappear Without a trace He keeps every one In divine bottles of love In a celestial room Flask upon flask of my pain He keeps track of And one day He’ll break them open with me When I’ve been set free And those salty tears of mine Will water the garden Of my heavenly mansion That He’s prepared for me. My tears of sorrow That you made me cry Many a day and many a night He will turn into tears of joy Unchecked and unbottled Free! Eileen Manassian Ghali Psalm 56:8 New Living Translation (NLT) 8 You keep track of all my sorrows You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.

Thanks, Jake! The scriptures are a sure comfort in time of need. My favorite author? Paul..what would the New Testament be without his writing! I will give it a read. Thanks for stopping by!
