Not a tear falls but that He knows it
Every tear of pain
Every tear of grief
Every tear of fear
My tear is a prayer
My silence is a psalm of praise
Darkness descends
All encrypted doom and gloom
Run soul run, run away
O dear God, frantically I run to You
Burdened with my silence
Loaded to the brim with void
Drowning in an ocean of tears
I knock at the gates of Your Mercy
At the doorsteps of Your compassion,
I dump my agony, empty my grief
O Most Compassionate
O Most Kind,
Your pardon, I thirst, my Beloved
A sprinkle of Your kindness
A touch of Your grace
“Wouldn’t I wish you’re pleased, even if life is bitter
Wouldn’t I wish you’re satisfied, even if others are annoyed
If only what’s between You and me is flourishing
Even if what’s between me and the world is a ruin
If your friendship is intact, then all is good
All that’s above earth, is dust”
Here is my heart, I give it back, grind it down
May it’s agony be a redemption
Here’s my heart, take it back
Scatter it’s atoms far and wide
In all eleven corners of the universe
Of it’s anguish, may hope sprout
May love grow and kindness bloom
