Tears
Callie Lawson
As a child asks, so I ask of thee,Does the Lord weep,
And in weeping does He shed
Those holy tears for me?
In answer, do the clouds rend free,
And rain comes gently down,
And so the tears of heaven fall
And gently swallow me,
And looking around I feel that He,
Has sent His mercy and His love,
To all the land and all therein
And every being that we see.
And from every rain soaked tree,
To the strongest and the coldest men,
They all begin to weep the tears
He sent for all and me,
So bends the tallest tree,
Under weight of God’s great love,
And shedding the tears of Him above,
Sets its branches free.
The heartless man is given soul, He,
Feeling the rain stream down his face,
Learns what the Lord intends him do
And what He intends he be.
And so they learn to shed for me,
The tears that He sends to ground,
And so I turn and shed for Him,
The tears the soul held bound.
