The Joy in Tears
January 9, 2016
Tears washing over me,
Disinfect and set me free,
From the trauma of tragedy,
Purify hot anger infecting me,
Wash all pain away inside of me,
Tears of joy celebratory,
Release intensity so easily,
Happy moment glisten freely,
Jump and shout glee indwell me,
Tears of Hallelujahs praising Thee,
Tears of Compassion sweetly,
Course of mercy full-heartedly,
Expressing all genuine empathy,
For the pain of others a sympathy,
A human bond of love, peace, unity,
Tears of Jesus wept for me,
And you, hating sin’s tyranny,
Tears of blood to make us free,
Of death, the end of sin-infamy,
My tears of gratitude, I offer Thee!
