Who Hears You Crying
 
What use is a tear?
Is it a cleansing of the soul?
Where exactly do your tears go?
Who hears you when you cry?

Do you cry silently? Do you cry openly?
Do you cry in fear? Do you cry in sorrow?
Can you add one cubit to your height?
Can you bring the rains of tomorrow?

Are your tears the tears of distress?
Are they tears of sadness?
Are they tears of grief?
Are they the tears of gladness?
Who hears you when you cry?

God hears you;
One day we, as Christians,
Will dwell with Him
In that great ‘by-and-by’;

Psalms 56:8:
King David wrote:
(NLT)

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 126: 5
They that sow in tears,
Shall reap in joy

Isaiah 25:8

He will swallow up death in victory,
and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces,
and the rebuke of his people shall he take away
from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
