TEARS OF SALVATION
WHY MUST YOUR HEART ENDURE SO MUCH PAIN
BEFORE YOU ASK GOD FOR THE GRACE YOU CAN GAIN?
WHY SO MUCH ANGUISH IN YOUR LIFE MUST PRECEDE
BEFORE YOU ASK JESUS FOR YOU TO INTERCEDE?
HOW MUCH BLOOD ON THIS LAND MUST CONTINUE TO FLOW
BEFORE YOU ASK FOR GOD’S MERCY WHICH HE YEARNS TO BESTOW?
HOW MANY MORE TEARS MUST CONTINUE TO FALL
BEFORE YOU RESPOND TO YOUR MOTHER’S CALL?
WHY IS IT THAT TRAGEDIES MUST HELP YOU RETURN
TO SEEK, MY DEAR CHILDREN, THE GOD YOU DID SPURN?
WHY IS IT, DEAR CHILDREN, THAT MOMENTS LIKE THESE
ARE THE ONES TO ALERT YOU TO SEEK GOD ON YOUR KNEES?
WHY MUST YOU WAIT TILL YOU NO LONGER CAN COPE
BEFORE YOU SEEK JESUS AS YOUR ONLY HOPE?
IT IS NOT GOD’S WILL THAT THIS PAIN YOU ENDURE,
YET HE ALLOWS TEARS TO FALL TO HELP MAKE YOUR SOUL PURE.
GOD, MY DEAR CHILDREN, ALLOWS YOUR TEARS TO CLEANSE
A SOUL THAT WAS TARNISHED BY YOUR ACTS OF OFFENSE.
GOD THRU YOUR TEARS YOUR SOUL WILL PURIFY
THAT YOU MAY LIVE IN HIS PRESENCE NEVER TO DIE.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
