Tears of Life

a tear of grace
flows from love's heart,
compassion's gift
God's living art.

mourning the lost
through kindness breath,
intimacy's dance
causing His death.

weeping in grief
our pain embraced,
precious blood shed
our shame replaced.

a tear for us
amidst our strife,
refuge of hope
transforming life.

our tears now held
in nailed scarred hands,
secure in strength
for He understands.

no tears to fear
in heaven's rest,
embracing joy
in Christ we're blest.

John 11:35 Jesus wept.
