Tears of Joy

(Inaugural Post)


God on High, 
Hear my prayer for this world, 
Let them know You are near.


See the tears on the cheek
Of the sad and the weak:
Bring them peace,
Bring them joy,
Bring them hope.


The life You gave, You meant for good.
With You it can be even yet.
Our dreams may die, one by one,
But hope in You grows on and on,
And as years pass, we won't regret.


You are peace,
You are joy,
You are hope
Even death can't destroy.


When we kneel, You forgive,
Then we heal, then we live.
And the tears on our cheek,
When we're sad, when we're weak,
You will kiss and give back
Tears of joy.
