God Do You Cry Too

Today while trying to make sense of it all
When I look around and see so much evil
When what was created so perfectly 
has become so wrong, I wonder
Does God cry?

When I read He made me in his likeness
and He tells me clearly through his word
that there is no other love greater than His
I think of how sensitive he has made my heart
and I can't help but ask... "God, do you cry too?"

And when I see a child who has been abused
And you have called them our greatest treasures
Do you take vengeance on such evil?
"God!  How do you cope, when you see their tears?"
Tell me!   Do you cry too?"

I think He must.  Because the One who taught me
how to love; Who taught me about faith; Who commanded me to love one another must have a heart as sensitive as mine... 
and I think, "God, I believe you cry and grieve just like me."
"Because no other could care as deeply as You do."
"You count every tear I cry... But Lord, who counts your?"
