My Lord,
It is so amazing to me how much I cry. Because of who You are and who I am in you, I cry all the time. Yes, I'm a cry baby for Jesus!
I can hear a song that I've heard many, many times and still cry today.
I can read a verse that I've read many, many times and still cry today.
I come home from work and cry because I still live on the beach.
I can hear a praise song or sermon in church and quietly tears fall.
I can sit still with my bible study homework and burst into tears.
I can be in the midst of doing something simple and routine and burst into tears.
I can read a letter that I wrote to you from a past journal entry and burst into tears.
I can stare at the sky and see the sunrise, sunset, stars or moon and cry quietly.
The below poem came from a drive that I took two weeks ago from Ownings to Bowie, Maryland. I was just drinking coffee and having a regular morning while on my way to the Christian Book Store. I was listening to Anthony Evans' version of "How He Loves" and completely burst into tears. I have heard that song at least 50 or more times. And for reason unknown to me, I just could not stop crying. Your love, grace and presence follows me wherever I go. I have never felt so special and so loved in my life! Tears poured out uncontrollably.
<>< My Tears <><
when i am at my best
you are there and
when i am at my worst
you do not abandon me
my tears fall repeatedly
your love covers everything
your grace abounds endlessly
when i stray toward the world
you are still with me
nudging, reminding, whispering
my tears fall repeatedly
your love covers everything
your grace abounds endlessly
when i forget you and
fall back there to who i used to be
a sinner who has lost her way
my tears fall repeatedly
your lover covers everything
your grace abounds endlessly
Eternally yours
