Your Tears For Me
I
shared with you my cup of sorrows
And
as my friend you drank it deep
I
did not know the pain it caused you
Until
I saw your tears for me.
I
shared my heart, I shared my soul
I
needed courage to fend off defeat
You
said a prayer for my deliverance
And
offered up your tears for me.
I
was sad and feeling helpless
Full
of heaviness, hurt and grief
You
took my pain upon your shoulders
The
strain revealed in your tears for me.
My
soul refreshed while yours was broken
Your
heart aching, mine at ease
It
seems unjust that you be burdened
And
caused to shed your tears for me.
No
one but a friend so loving
Would
consent to set me free
By
letting go all reservation
And
embracing your tears for me.
By
this alone I know you love me
By
this alone is my soul complete
Because
you weep when I am hurting
And don't hold back your tears for me.
