Tear of Jesus

Tear of Jesus

Imagine you standing beneath(under) the cross
catching this tear in your open hand

Man do you see the tear in Jesus eye
on the cross up high
not his body's pain
but our sin, his pain
as Father forgive them, he say
to who yet walk the bondage way
draw them close to Thee
let Me set them free
and did you feel His tear fall in your hand
your own tears now dripping on each foot
His tear make our heart to stare
why were we our life long not aware
of His love more tasty than sweet cane root
come spirit of God let us understand
take away wrong thoughts in our mind
also change the ways from sin in us, you find
big and small sins
by the body and inside the mind sins
You came to be near us,to clean and heal us
clean now from sin where we stumble
change our pride, make us humble
and heal the wounds of body and heart in us
let us look and also see
the one to serve, are thee
always we will praise you for Your grace
what You promise to man, will take place
therefore make our hands and heart open again
you Jesus, paid for us in body and heart(tear), pain

let the tear from Jesus, given to us
always turn our eyes to Him who have forgiven us

for His love and joy is not like the world, for showing
it is like waves of the sea all the oceans flowing
wash over our souls, again and again, constantly
nothing, nobody can stop His Love, so abundantly

and now as Abba Father keep our tears, all
as precious, collected in a vase, small
let also keep His tear
safe to our chest, near...
...and in our heart, as the gift from and to Him
since man will always be thirsty after Him

maybe it is like that
that Jesus a tear on the cross cried
over you and me dirty sinful, before He died
but also: it is finished! , did He shout
that now for His Grace, we can sing and shout
maybe it is like that

who/how many is there in our(any) nation
that trust in Jesus for their salvation
then give Him in your heart a crown
and experience the truth made known

People need people to bring the light
where some one still sits in the dark night
people need people to feel God's love
o bless us for the right reasons, Holy Dove

will you go or just stay under the church steeple
to bring the tear of Jesus to another people
