WEEK 8 – DAYS 6 & 7

STREAMS OF TEARS

Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. Psalm 119:136

 “My eyes shed streams of water
 because they do not keep Thy law.”
 I stepped out of my house today
 and wept at what I saw…
 I wept to see a dying world
 spinning toward destruction,
 Listening to the devil’s lies,
 ignoring God’s instruction.
 I cried because our children
 grow up thinking wrong is right.
 “How can it be a sin, Mom?
 It’s on TV every night!”
  
 My eyes fill up with tears
 because our teens are led astray.
 They’re told if they desire real love,
 they must “go all the way”.
 Then I looked at my own friends,
 adults approaching thirty.
 I taste my tears because I fear
 we no longer see sin as dirty.
 And has our parents’ generation
 also put their blinders on?
 I weep to think that no one
 will stand up and say, “That’s wrong!”
 Not only is sin bad because
 it causes people pain,
 But because it shows the calloused way
 we treat God with disdain.
 The psalmist wept, and so do I
 because God’s laws are ignored.
 Help me to esteem Your word,
 oh Lord, I now implore.
