My eyes are where I hold my tears

From sorrows, pains, and miserable fears

But I also hold tears that no one can see

Ones only known to my Jesus and me

There are things that I feel, I just can’t explain

Because nobody’s journey is nearly the same

So often times, I push tears aside

And no one else knows that I’m crying inside

My journey would take my lifetime to tell

And even I don’t know it that well

But God knows me fully, from the inside out

The things I hide, or know nothing about

So my joy, my peace, my comfort, my rest

Is in trusting the One Who knows me the best

Often times, I cause my own pain

Through mistakes, bad choices, guilt, and shame

Other times, it just comes about

And the how and the why, I can’t figure out

But I live each day so thankfully

That God loves me fully, in spite of me

And as for misfortunes that life brings my way

I’m learning to let Him wipe them away

My sorrows, my pains, my miserable fears

He holds and He wipes my invisible tears
