I went with my dad to a funeral.  The prayer giver asked that our “tears be turned into living water.”  I just liked that thought.

 

This pain of heart

pierces like an arrow

Here’s my tears,

tears of sorrow.

 

These tears I shed

feel so heavy.

This path I’m on

has not been easy.

 

Lord, take these tears

from your wayward daughter

bless them as only you can

and turn them into living water.

 

Let me rise up

from this pain I bear

with thy peace and love

that Thou will share.

 

Take these tears of sorrow

that run down my face

and turn them into living water

in their place.
