way back in my young days,I strayed from the Lord,
and His loving blessings ,He gave me no more;
For I had grown weary,with bitterness inside,
I found myself asking------"why couldn't I cry"?
There was no tears of sorrow,for loved ones in pain.
no weakness of mercy,no pity or shame;
and the feelings inside me ,left me cold and dry,
but the question remaining_______"why couldn't I cry"?
I talked of this longing,with family and friends ,
but no one could help me , to reach whats within;
I told God above me, ____I'd give anything in life
as i pondered the question______"why couldn't I cry"?
After years of waiting, i'd pay the promise i'd made,
the life of my small one He came for one day;
the feelings inside me , that was bitter and dry,
God surely showed me, what it took for----" me to cry"
now the tears you'll see falling, are not for sorrow or pain,
they're love for my Jesus, when i praise His name;
i advise u dear children, don't grow bitter inside,
or ,like me , you'll be asking--------"why couldn't I cry"?
