Don't cry, Lord Jesus Why that tear? Does a sorrow to you Draw too near? I lay my cheek upon your hand As flowers around my head Do blend Let me love you Oh my God, my dear
You lift the crystal fluid Off your cheek Wait a moment Before you speak It is not for sorrow That my eyes do weep But for pure joy, beloved child That in eternity I now May you forever keep!
John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
H3brews 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
