A Rain of Tears
A rain of tears
A soul that's drenched
Rent and wrung to dry
A promised hope
So far away
A silenced heart that cries
Here to storm
the gates of Hell
but turn around to see
An empty field
Without a friend
All swords turned towards me
A tension taut
Against the soul
Ills that haunt me still
Unstable, change
alone, goodbyes
Words that mean to kill
Defenseless with
An unknown grief
Pretend that it's okay
A wound to mourn
A dream to yearn
A voice that must be stayed
I turn to One
Who knows my heart
And loves to defend
Be not afraid
Rejoice in Him
A faithful, caring Friend
All for good
He will mold
Every wound and pain
My heart prepared
All fallow ground
Broken for the rain
A rain of tears
A soul that's drenched
Rent and wrung to dry
A promised hope
Not far away
A healing heart He'll bind

ReplyDeleteI love it! Gorgeous imagery. Loved the idea of pain but turning to the Lord... He does give comfort.
ReplyDeleteThe words are tender and worn, with the feelings of the heart that is torn.Able to see and still awaiting the gentle rain to fall to fill the void,listens to the call,I am here the great I am,the friend of yours to walk you hand in hand.To wipe the tears of JOY just where you stand. from George Heneger
