Sewing in Tears by Patricia Joan Polhans I have sewn with tears Into loved ones lives. Pain has been my lot A majority of the time. Suffered cruelty from some Who spoke crushing words And upon my wounded heart The interpretation blurred. Garbled by emotions Felt the sting of tears Upon my heart grew blisters For many, many years! As my endurance dwindled My voice could only say That the sewing of the tears Must have been for me today. My love becomes challenged From day to trying day With the many firey darts That seem to come my way. Within the firey furnace I've tried to find my rest Come out as pure gold As I pass the cruel test. As I look to my Savior For my strength to guide Poured out my bleeding heart As to him, I did confide. All my secret fears and All of my frustrations Burned in the furnace With my tribulations. He alone saw through All the garbled noise. Despite weakness and tears I shall reap songs of joy! All anger and frustration The bitter tears and ploys Have all worked together To bring abundant joys. All the biting anguish Of those who sought my life Have now been demolished 'long with discouragement and strife. Many sought to destroy me And to bring me down But now I stand before you In my righteous white gown. Soon and very soon, I know, There'll be an end to it all Tears that were sewn in weakness Shall, never again, fall. Psalms 126:5-6 Those who sew in tears shall reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him. |
