Weeping daughter<\/p>\n
Don’t you know that you can have joy<\/p>\n
For what you thought was the best thing, doesn’t even compare to what more<\/p>\n
I have in store for you, if you would just believe<\/p>\n
Your words speak a faith, yet, your heart is unbelief<\/p>\n
Weeping daughter<\/p>\n
Let me dry your eyes<\/p>\n
Holding onto yesterday<\/p>\n
Causes you to lose sight of renewed hope with a new day<\/p>\n
I haven’t counted you as lost<\/p>\n
You are still among the fold<\/p>\n
I am the Good Shepard<\/p>\n
With my loving hands, I will console<\/p>\n
Weeping daughter<\/p>\n
Look up with expectation<\/p>\n
Man may have rejected you<\/p>\n
But with me you’ve received acceptance<\/p>\n
My shed blood has washed and purged your sin<\/p>\n
Stop behaving like the swine<\/p>\n
Returning to wallow in filthy pits<\/p>\n
I have shown great mercy<\/p>\n
With each breath you take<\/p>\n
Yet, I am a jealous God<\/p>\n
I will not share my glory<\/p>\n
Do not mistake<\/p>\n
Delayed judgment<\/p>\n
For my being in agreement<\/p>\n
Evil is wicked<\/p>\n
Yet my plans work within it<\/p>\n
Because you have free will<\/p>\n
I will not force myself on you<\/p>\n
I’m the perfect gentleman<\/p>\n
Yet, one day soon time will end<\/p>\n
Weeping daughter<\/p>\n
Don’t lose hope<\/p>\n
there’s work for you to do<\/p>\n
Share your testimony<\/p>\n
About what I can do<\/p>\n
Others are waiting on you to show your light<\/p>\n
Don’t hide under bushel<\/p>\n
You’re required to be in plain sight<\/p>\n
Your doubts and fears<\/p>\n
Cast your cares on me<\/p>\n
I was a man acquainted with your grief<\/p>\n
Remind yourself of what my Son came to do<\/p>\n
Encourage yourself in me<\/p>\n
When ecstatic and when blue<\/p>\n
Weeping daughter<\/p>\n
Hear these words<\/p>\n
Do not harden your heart<\/p>\n
I will perform every promise<\/p>\n
You’ve gotta be willing to depart<\/p>\n
From self and be guided by my Holy Spirit<\/p>\n
Too many with itching ears don’t recognize Truth when they hear it<\/p>\n
I ask you to follow me on this sometimes lonely road<\/p>\n
But your destination will be a crown in your Heavenly abode<\/p>\n
