WILL YOU CRY FOR ME?

WILL YOU CRY FOR ME?

by Steven E. White

~~~

Will you cry for me?

Will  you shed a tear?

Will you stop to comfort me?

Or offer up a prayer?

Will you cry for me?

When you hear my story?

Will you think, such a shame?

Or give God the glory?

Will you think, it’s such awful luck,

He’s too young for this,

Why do bad things always happen?

What good can come of this?

And as you watch me, as you listen,

A prayer might come to mind,

Lord, restore him back to how he was,

Our Lord, so strong, so kind.

~ But ~

I won’t cry for me.

I won’t shed a tear.

Comforting can be nice,

But better, always, is prayer.

I won’t cry for me,

For I know the whole story,

Sometimes we must pass through flame,

To show God’s full Glory.

I no longer believe in luck,

My soul is in God’s hands.

There is no bad on this earth,

that won’t yield to my Redeemer’s plan.

So as you watch, as you listen,

A new prayer comes to mind,

For God is so Good, and always so True,

And my Savior is always so kind.
