Tears In A Bottle

My Jesus has a bottle.
It’s as big as can be.

For He has recorded
All my tears for me.

He’s recorded my joy
As well as my sorrow.
I don’t have to worry,
He holds my tomorrow.

For when I get to heaven
And the bottle I do see.
Then certainly I will know
How much  He cared for me.

For every tear will be there
Whether it is big or small.
Every one will be counted.
I know He has them all.

Each tear I shed is listed.
Jesus treasures every part.
Preserved in His memory,
Written across His heart.

"You have collected all my tears and preserved them in your bottle!
You have recorded every one in your book!"
Psalm 56:8

Tears are often the telescope by which men see
far into me see far into heaven.
