Your Tears Are Precious to Jehovah

Through joys and sorrows
Tears may be shed
Jehovah sees
The tears on your bed

When troubles seem
So out of control
We can be confident
God knows them all

For thousands of years
Pain he has seen
He’s keenly aware
Of what we need

He plans to correct
All of the wrongs
Drying the tears
Of all of the throngs

Until that day comes
On him we rely
Praying for the strength
Though we might cry

Examples found
In Jehovah’s word
Providing comfort
Their voices heard

Hannah and David
King Hezekiah
Though in anguish
On God they relied

Hannah kept praying
Till Jehovah heard
Transferring the burden
Without a word

Her countenance
No longer downcast
What once tormented
Now in the past

Rather than tending
To isolate
Stay close to friends
And Associate

Our brothers and sisters
Are there for us
Providing comfort
Our pain to discuss

David was faced
With troubles immense
Praying for help
His feelings intense

He felt support
That God provided
Waiting till pain
Finally subsided

Endurance we show
Waiting on him
He’s close to those
Whose faith isn’t dim

King Hezekiah
Was Terminally ill
When 39
His prayer was fulfilled

Jehovah gave him
Really good news
His life extended
His health renewed

An invading army
Threatened the peace
Taunting Jehovah
It wouldn’t cease

The Assyrians
Didn’t win the war
Jehovah made sure
They were no more

If we stay faithful
We’ll reap the rewards
Praying to God
And trusting our Lord
