My Would Be Last Tears
With God wiping all tears* away
In the new heaven and new earth
Where He assured me to abide…
I long for that day with faith’s sight.
In the “no more crying” haven
My Saviour first would cheer me up
To dry my joy-filled worship tears
Exposing grateful countenance.
My celestial tears so worthy
Would greatly shout triumphant praise
Awed at the Lord’s marvelous love
So wondrously invaluable.
I like my tears to delight God
Catching His holy attention
Moving His hand to touch my face
Granting supreme approval’s stamp.
May my tears be pure and earnest
Showing guilt-free, peaceful conscience
Cleansed by Christ’s perfect sacrifice
Bearing mercy-pardon’s favor.
Devoid of hypocrisy’s trace
My final tears would defy pride
Shut up self-pity’s screams and woes
To exalt my Master and King.
While I then wait for my Father
To wipe all my last precious tears
I ought now to weep for my sins
With unbeliefs that displease Him.
*Revelation 21:4 “…God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes…”
