Weeping and Peace

My heart is touched by weeping Lord,

That simply won’t subside
My cheeks are flooded with the tears
My brimming eyes have cried.
 
I wish that I could find the peace
That always eludes me,
But there is no peace in this world
As far as I can see.
 
But still I trust in Your Grace, Lord,
For Your promise is true.
I may not find peace in this world,
But I have peace in You.
 
So I will weep a while longer,
For this world’s full of pain.
And, in the end, the tears will pass,
While Your peace will remain.
 
Job 16:16-17
My face is red with weeping, dark shadows ring my eyes;
yet my hands have been free of violence and my prayer is pure.
