As Mary went to the tomb, she wept because Her Lord had been crucified. Her tears poured as she could not find His body there. He spoke to her and her sorrow overwhelmed her. She could not see Him standing there. Yet, He whispered this song, “Don’t Weep My Love” How often, do we get so swallowed up in our sorrow that we don’t see, He is standing there. His arms are open wide, bidding us come to rest against His chest while He sings a lullaby over us.
DON’T WEEP MY LOVE
She gazed into the empty tomb
His body wasn’t there
The pain so great it did consume
Her heart with full despair
Such agony to lose the one
She loved more than her life
How could it be that God’s own Son
Had met with so much strife
As she wept such bitter tears
Alone with such despair
A gentle voice removed her fears
As Christ was standing there
CHORUS
Don’t weep, my love I am here with you
In your darkest night, I will see you through
Give me your pain and your sorrow too
While I sing my song of love so true
Your hope, your joy will soar anew
So, Rest in my arms while I sing for you
Broken my heart from sorrow and care
Shattered from all of life’s pain
I look up to see my Savior there
While He sings over me this refrain
CHORUS
Don’t weep, my love I am here with you
In your darkest night, I will see you through
Give me your pain and your sorrow too
While I sing my song of love so true
Your hope, your joy will soar anew
So, Rest in my arms while I sing for you
Concluding thoughts:
Because we do not open our eyes to see God’s arms open wide on those darkest of nights, our faith quivers and our hearts shatter in despair. Yet, He is there calling us to Him and singing His song of love over us.
Zephaniah 3:17-18
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

A Broken and Contrite Heart, I published in 2010, answers the question, “What do I do when I keep falling into the same sin? Does God hate me because I keep failing to get this right? So, where do I begin again and find joy in my salvation; after, falling. If you want to know more about this book or the other books I have written: You can find a link at: Book Resources.
