Monday's Mourning Ministry - All My Tears

Monday's Mourning Ministry

All My Tears

When I die don't cry for me

In my Father's arms I'll be.

The wounds this world left on my soul

Will all be healed and I'll be whole...

It don't matter where you bury me

I'll be home, and I'll be free

It don't matter where I lay

All my tears be washed away!

(Lyrics, "All My Tears")

All My Tears

Selah

Lyrics

When I die don't cry for me

In my Father's arms I'll be

The wounds this world left on my soul

Will all be healed and I'll be whole

Sun and moon will be replaced

With the light of Jesus' face

And I will not be ashamed

For my Savior knows my name

Chorus

It don't matter where you bury me

I'll be home, and I'll be free

It don't matter where I lay

All my tears be washed away

Gold and silver blind the eye

Temporary riches lie

Come and eat from heaven's store

Come and drink and thirst no more

So weep not for me my friend

When my time below does end

For my life belongs to Him

Who will raise the dead again

Chorus

It don't matter where you bury me

I'll be home, and I'll be free

It don't matter where I lay

All my tears be washed away

What a sobering, sweet reminder in this Negro spiritual sung by Selah that even as we cry, mourn, and indeed, even weep over our children, we can know in our heart of hearts for each of God's precious children who have been called home, each child can say, "all my tears be washed away" just as someday for all of God's beloved children, all our tears too will be washed away...

Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

~Revelation 21:3b-4 NIV
