I wrote this poem after reflecting in what God and His angels must feel.over the chaos in our world today. I know God is in control. I also know He loves His creation and must grieve over our actions.
A Tear Falls from Heaven
A tear falls from heaven when brothers fight
When they insist on holding on to their pride.
A tear falls from heaven when a judge issues a decree
That is far from just and void of mercy
A tear falls from heaven at every breaking heart.
Every longing in man's deepest part.
A tear falls because the view from heaven is clear.
The world is blind to God whose presence is near.
A tear falls from heaven as they witness violence and hate
And see man hang on to bitter anger instead of grace.
A tear falls from heaven over all that they see
So many hearts darkened, that could be set free.
A tear falls from heaven because God loves His creation.
Sending His son to give them salvation.
Yes a tear falls from heaven over it all
It has since the day of man's fall.
God cherishes each soul on earth
Each tear that falls proves our worth.
Tears fell from heaven when His son died.
And suffered at our hand and was crucified.
As we fight over so many issues today.
Forgetting He is on control as we demand our way
And tears fell from heaven as we lose sight
Of who God is and we choose to fight.
A tear falls from heaven but one day there will be
No tears in His Kingdom where captives are set Free
No more fighting no more left or right
As the knowledge of Him is declared in His glorious light.
