WIPING TEARS

Someday God will wipe away your tears. The same hands that stretched the heavens will touch your checks. The same hands that formed mountains will caress your face. The same hands that curled in agony as the Roman spike cut through will someday cup your face and brush away your tears .. FOREVER

Tears that fall because of pride

Tears streaming down because someone lied

Tears that flow without relief

Tears that strip away all disbelief

Tears filled with emotions raw and torn

Tears that say goodbye as we stop to mourn

Tears of regret in the restless morning hours

Tears of self-pity, like dismal, misty showers

Tears that well up in frightened eyes

Tears of pain that burst forth from darkened skies

Tears of realization that your life will not last

Tears of joy for a forgiven past

Tears that come because of shame

Tears for losing and success just the same

Tears coursing quietly down bruised, beaten faces

Tears of remorse over poorly chosen places

Tears rushing forth, a result of true rage

Tears that won't stop as you reread the page

Tears that flood over an anxious heart

Tears without reason that suddenly start --

All these tears will be wiped away; When Jesus calls us home to stay

No more need to weep and cry

When He wipe dry every eye.
