A Keeper of Tears

When I got to heavens gates and God wiped away the damaged years He gave me a holy assignment As keeper of all tears I ran an enormous warehouse Where bottles of tears were stored God had labelled each and every one for whatever made our hearts bleed sore. So a lifetime of tears were remembered for every living soul For the day they came to heaven So God could completely make them whole. When a soul arrived in heaven Their saved tears were glowing bright God took each bottle and poured it over them Until their robes were shining white. Their hearts were mended that very day And pure joy replaced all former pain For pain in heaven is not allowed Nor ever will be again. So always remember each tear you shed is never cried in vain For God catches and saves every one of them To use as heavenly rain
