You watched a tear
Springing from my heart
Joining with the river
Falling down below.
You called my name
I did not reply
Instead You saw my heart
I couldn’t kneel to pray.
You brought me comfort
All I saw was pain
Yet even in my blindness
I saw You smile at me.
Hope came tumbling down
You pulled me out again
Lifting up my heart
Bowing down to You.
You heard my whisper
As I turned my head
Now facing distant scenes
Watching at the gates.
You felt my brokenness
It drove through Your hands
Blood spilling down like rivers
Giving down below.
