What of tears?
What of feelings of deep emotion?
What of the thoughts that seem to interfere
When one encounters the One to Whom we pray?
Don’t let them get in the way.
What is a poor body to do,
But quake before the awesome Presence?
What better use of tears
But to purify the vessel.
Allow the thoughts to bathe therein,
Outside the city
And realms of sin,
In the arms
Of One Who loves you
Through and through.
So many reasons for tears, eh? Sometimes sadness, sometimes joy and sometimes awe in the presence of the Lord.
And sometimes they just flow, but God is around.
That is supposed to be, because God is around.
