Lay Down My Tears
Lay down my tears, empty arms and sorrow
Quiet grief wrapped heart I would borrow
Till air and breathe return within
And tell my body to live again
Yet opening veiled watery eyes
Witness within bright glorious skies
Twirling two forever together plus more
Brought thankfully to exaltation shore
Crossing heavenly continents, spared suffering
Of dark fallen world and buffeting
To rest and bless and joyfully prepare
Earthly mother and father’s reunion there
Lift up understanding and open eyes
Light, glory and power expose worldly disguise
Combined work above and faith below
Wraps Christ’s love and salvation round all bestowed
For Emily and Rob
