The Tear Garden
Imagine for a moment
if every tear you cried
didn’t just roll down your cheek and quietly subside.
What if every tear was saved
from every time you’ve wept
Then sent from here to heaven
and in a bottle kept
Imagine a heavenly garden
that’s watered by those tears
where God is the tender Gardener
in each season through the years
With every tear He plants a seed
and soon a garden grows
For whether shed in pain or joy
the Father surely knows
I asked you to imagine
but this isn’t make believe
Beauty can come from ashes
if you’re willing to receive.
