Do you think your tears will bring you God's forgiveness? <br />Well you've got it all wrong my friend, <br />Forgiveness only comes through the blood of Jesus Christ, <br />Which will wash away all of mankinds sin. <br /> <br />You may claim to be a Christian, <br />But what about a true believer be? <br />Anyone can raise their hands and shout God's praises, <br />But it's our hearts the Lord really wants to see. <br /> <br />The trueness of the heart of man, <br />That which no earthly man can see inside, <br />For the heart can render many secrets held, <br />From others you may its content hide. <br /> <br />So cry a river of tears if you must, <br />Showing all who view their streams, <br />But what your heart hides from anothers view, <br />Is really who God wants us all too truly be. <br /> <br />By: Linda Winchell <br />Copyright: 2010<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tears-of-forgiveness/
