Tears for Him

Tears for Him
(Inspired by Hymn #192 vs. 2)

I cry many tears
Selfish ones indeed
Thinking only of myself
And all that I need

I cry tears of sadness
Of sorrows and pain
Thinking only of myself
And promised blessings to gain

How often have I stopped
To shed a tear or two
For our dear Savior
Who died for me and you

He lovingly has wept
Tears of sadness with me
But I seem to cry-
Shedding tears selfishly

I need to stop a moment
And think of my Savior, lovingly
With many tears to shed for Him
I'll weep ever so reverently

Come one, come all
And shed a tear or two
For the Man, our Savior
Who died for me and you
