He Matches His Own With Our Tears

He matches His own
With our tears
The heavens moan
Whene'er pain nears

Through His perfect plan
We have a comforter
And a pathway for prayer
That to Him we can turn

His compassion
Reaches out to us
Through the Companion
And ever, one, Jesus

There is a silver lining
When all we see are clouds
It is for our finding
Where God's love brightly shrouds

Even if you cannot always see that silver lining on your clouds, God can, for He is the very source of the light you seek. He does love you, and He knows your fears. He hears your prayers. He is your Heavenly Father, and surely He matches with His own the tears His children shed.
