HE Saw Every Tear

HE saw every tear:

The ones that welled up

But did not pour

The ones that dropped down

But did not leave a stain

The ones that flowed

For hours unstoppable,

Yes, HE saw every tear;

HE saw every tear

Those that spoke of your joy

Those of uncontrollable excitement

Those of success and satisfaction

Those of the fulfilment of HIS Will;

Those that told of your pains

Those that followed fear

Those that were filled with anguish

Yes, HE saw them all;

Even those that flowed under sedation

Even those of the transient joys of addictions

All those tears of self-condemnation, self-defeat

HE saw those tears of confusion and hopelessness;

Every drop meant something to HIM

Every drop HE watched over

Every drop communed with HIM

Every drop was mirrored on HIM;

HE saw every tear

HE felt each one with you

HE did not choose any over another

HE never took HIS eyes off you;

HE saw your every tear

No one else has seen them all

No one else has felt them too

No one else knows where you're coming from

No one else knows the great places HE's taking you to.

You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. [Psalms 56:8, NLT]
