Not a Tear Forgotten
Every tear that has been shed from the eye
has felt the pain of the cry of the broken soul.
I was told that a mother's life was to love and nurture
the one that she gave life to, as if it was her very own life.
How many hours did my mother kneel and pray for me?
I will never know how many tears were shed
but I know she loves me, by the prayers she invested in my soul.
You see she knows the Master, who gave His life that we all may live.
Do we as mothers know that our children are a gift?
Have you felt like life has shifted and yours is broken with tears
that feel as though your soul has bled and cannot stop?
Jesus is there knocking waiting for you to say come in.
Your child may be living in sin but let Jesus be your friend.
He knows about your tears as your heart is breaking, wanting all this heartache to end.
There has never been a tear that God has not held in His hand.
