Author's note: Which tears will you weep?
Tears
My tears fall like drops of liquid lead
They splash down upon the naked ground
My chest implodes and I feel quite dead
My cold heart shatters without a sound
While all the lost scoffers mock and jeer
I wrestle an old man horrendous
A corpse that still has my new man's ear
Causing my falls to be stupendous
In this sea of dark humanity
The spirit man cries that all's not lost
But by temptations and vanity
My now warring soul is roughly tossed
He says I must turn and seek His face
The still, small voice I hear deep within
Then my pained heart will heal in His grace
And defeat the old, cursed man of sin
Feed the spirit man and make him strong
So new, joyous tears will freely flow
Seek Christ to overcome all that's wrong
For within the Lord your heart will grow
