I SAW……

I saw those tears on your mattress.

I saw those tears on your bed.

I know the cost of those teardrops.

For each  my  blood was shed.

I saw those tears on your mattress.

I know the reasons each tear was shed.

Be encouraged, dear weary Pilgrim.

Your obedience is still anointed and led.

I saw those tears on your mattress.

I cried and held you close too.

Now that your tears are all finished.

Watch what I’ll accomplish through you.

Pick up your mantle of service.

Pick up exactly where you served.

Brokenness from  heartaches keeps you listening.

Anointed listening offers a learning curve.

I see your child every moment.

Release him to Me once again.

Keep on releasing your heartaches.

Peace is My Promise to the end.

The core of this child is steady.

He knows truth and all right from wrong.

Keep on releasing, dear Pilgrim.

Relinquishment will make your boy strong.

Now when you weep on your mattress

Also rest in My tenderized care.

I love that boy more than you do.

I even know the inventory of his hair!
