A Blessing to Weep No More

“Thus says the Lord:

‘Keep your voice from weeping,

And your eyes from tears….” (Jer. 31:16)

There is a time to weep

And there is a time to lift your head!

There is a time to mourn your losses

And there is a time to imagine your gains!

There is a time to remember what once was

And there is a time to rejoice in what will be!

As surely as the Hebrew people

Would return from exile,

So you shall be restored

By the grace of God.

I bless you to feel

The soft stroke of the Savior’s hand

Wiping every wet tear from your face

As He whispers secrets of grace

Into your soul.

Sometimes you need to cry

And sometimes you need to

Let Him “keep your voice from weeping”

Because there is so much good to come.

So much good to come,

Child of God,

So much good to come.
