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
