time and winds by Keith D AllisonThere is a tear
in my heart
help me stand
Trees are green
strings of lights
sad
so sad
oh the tear
in my heart
help me stand
help me stand
Is there a season
that can fill
the heart
with joy
I don't know
tents along the river
people losing homes
oh the tear
in my heart
help me stand
The star of the sky
sometimes seems dim
as clouds drifting in
and the snow does fall
take this tear from my hand
know your brother
see your sister heart
take there hands
help them stand

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 12/13/10 at 04:23 PM I loved the repetition of the "oh the tear in my heart help me stand". I could see this expanded into quite a powerful song of the season. |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 03/29/11 at 11:37 AM Gregory calls this a great lament. I agree. Thank God for those who look to Jesus there is joy even in the midst of deep sadness or frustration. It is looking toward the goal (Heaven) rather than the immediate circumstances. |
