I'm often asked why
Tears fall from my eyes
When my prayers ascend to the throne;
It's so easy for me
To shed tears, don't you see;
That's the way I make my needs known.
For the tears that I shed
In the prayers that I've said
Have all been kept by Him
In a bottle rare;
He has placed them there
He has never forgotten them.
For every tear
Is a liquid prayer
That waters the seed that we sow.
Through the good times and bad
Whether happy or sad
The tears help our prayers to flow.
Feel a tug in your heart?
Then let the tears start
When you take to God all your cares.
He knows what you need;
He hears when you plead;
For tears are just liquid prayers.
