SEA OF TEARS

Down by the sea,

Is where He met me.

The sea made of tears

With all my mistakes and fears.

But that didn't stop Gods heavenly Son

He would have came if I was the only one.

Tell me child,where do you hurt?

I saw His tears mix with mine in the dirt.

He cried with me,in my sea of tears

He understood all my mistakes and fears.

He took me by the hand and said

Come walk with me,so me He led.

He showed me a vision of a man

That hung on a tree,scars in His hands.

He started naming all the stripes He had

The meaning of each,oh I felt so sad.

Don't feel sad,He said to me

The stripes on this man had to be.

For now you can live without these tears

You can be free from all your fears.

I watched as the sea dried

All of my tears that I cried.

He looked at me and smiled

Said,you have a new life now child.

Now whenever I think life unfair

I go to the place where I took my fears

Remembering the Man who I met there

And know He has dried up,my sea of tears.
