Only Jesus sees my tears
(They're hidden from the world.)
And He keeps them bottled up,
Beside His chest of pearls.
They are precious to Him;
He understands "lament."
And He seeks to soothe us-
By Heavenly Angels sent!
Only Jesus knows my fears
(He faced them long ago…)
An understanding Father
Who urges to "let go!"
A clergy quite omnipotent
And closely standing by;
Watching o'er the lot of us
As we mourn and sigh.
Only Jesus will be there
To catch me when I fall…
And lift me from this wanton state
High to His ALL-IN-ALL!
