Give Me Tears

Written by Russell T

~~~

Lord, give me a burden with tears,

For the ones who cannot pray;

Whose minds are closed and hearts are hard,

In the blight of sin`s dread sway.

~~

Lord, help me to weep, and to cry,

With a heart that is broken and yearning;

O`er souls that are lost in sin`s night,

Give me love that is kindled and burning.

~~

Give me tears in my heart for that sinner,

Who was born to be happy and free;

Help me reach through the night and the darkness,

Let me lead that poor sinner to thee.

~~

Give me tears, give me tears, let me weep,

For that one who in deepest soul need;

Has no other to weep and to pray,

Till from powers of hell he is freed.

~~

Give me tears of such tender compassion,

Like to those which on Olivet fell;

When you looked o`er a world that is dying,

Yes, dying and going to hell.

~~

Give me tears in my heart I am pleading,

For without them I surely must fail,

But with tears in my heart interceding

I must surely win and Prevail.

See Ps.126:5&6
