Hebrews 7:25; Proverbs 11:30; Mark 16:15
There
are tears in the sinner's eyes,
Habits
of sin binding heart, hand and feet;
Broken
with shame at his sin and defeat,
Hot
burning tears coursing down his hot cheek -
There
are tears in the sinner's eyes.
There
are tears in the sufferer's eyes,
Long
weary hours of disease, weakness, pain,
Praying
that health be restored once again;
Waiting
for healing, but waiting in vain -
There
are tears in the sufferer's eyes.
There
are tears in discouraged eyes,
Misunderstood
by the ones who should know;
No
one to love, to compassion bestow,
Fainting,
discouraged, with hope burning low -
There
are tears in discouraged eyes.
There
are tears in non-Christian eyes,
Calling
to idols of wood and of stone,
Calling
in vain, Christ and Saviour unknown,
Comfortless,
helpless, without God, alone -
There
are tears in non-Christian eyes.
There
are tears in the Saviour's eyes,
Tears
for those sinning, discouraged and ill,
Tears
for straying ones, out of His will,
Tears
for millions unreached by us till -
There
are tears in the Saviour's eyes.
But
where are the tears in your eyes?
Can
you not weep with millions who weep?
Have
you no tears for the other lost sheep?
Jesus
is weeping! Are you still asleep?
Oh!
Where are the tears in your eyes?
