Hear My Tears
by Kathleen HighamI am wallowing again
Swallowed up in this sin
You have Your hand on me
The evil one cannot win.
Having lost all understanding
Of why I always fail
Every day remains the same
Following this murky trail.
My sin begins insidiously
Just a glimmer of a thought
Before I get control of it
Snared, again I'm caught.
Then I feel a gentle tug
That pulls me straight to You
My prayers become a life-line
God helps me see this through.
There can be no hope for me
Until I surrender all
Your hand holds me tight
Lifts me when I fall.
Lord I come to You once more
My weary soul will seek
Even when my sin remains
In a heart pitifully weak.
Your love conquers always
As You brush my sin aside
Especially when I wallow
You hear the tears I've cried.
Soothing and so comforting
The hand that wipes the tear
Amazing what You've done for me
I have nothing left to fear.
