THE BITTER CRIES

Someone feels your pain. You don't have to carry it alone.

THE BITTER CRIES

The sound of the bitter cries

Not without but within

Every tear that falls

It comes from a burning pain

The silent scream to be understood

This is what they long to be heard and behold

But instead of a merciful listening ear

It's a ravening mouth ready to tear

Is this what love had taught us

Is this what we've learned from JESUS

No, absolutely not!

For He came not for the righteous but for the lost

So cut off your pointing finger if you want to reach out

Pluck out your condemning eyes if you want to find the lost

Swallow your spit if you want to share your hope

And nail your feet on the cross if you want to spread God's love
