Don’t Cry



Why the crying? Why the tears?
Are you afraid that I’ll come near?
Would it be bad if you would love me?
There is no one who is above me

No one can compare with me
I’ll give you eyes so you can see
When you see me; you’ll hit the floor
I am the one you will adore

I am what you need me to be
Compassionately stern; to set you free
In quiet obedience you’ll be blessed
And I’ll come to you to be your guest

Then you can serve me everyday
You will not find a better way
The blessing is you’ll love your brother
I am the Lord; there is no other.

Don’t cry tonight!
