sharing presence
with those suffering
grieving tears
of our Lord
crying with them
those he loved
hurt, feeling their pain
loving us though we sin
dying in this life
rising only
when we turn to him
only then our tears to joy
Letting our tears flow
not holding them back
water pouring out
healing in the way
his love rains down
a balm for our heartfelt pain
