My darling daughter,
Tears flowing like water,
I know how you hurt inside.
You buried your pain and abuse.
I see the misery you hide.
I know life seems of no use.
Turn your face to me
I will set you free
I am closer to you than you know
Inside of my heart you abide
My healing, I long to bestow
I felt your scourge; I have cried
My dearly beloved son,
Always on the run,
I see the pace you set
Never knowing peace and rest.
All you do, you regret
Never achieving your best,
Crushed under the weight of debt.
Turn your face to me.
I will set you free.
In me is peace and rest.
I will erase your burdensome debt.
You will no longer be oppressed.
I will teach you to give; not to get.
My precious child,
All alone and wild,
I saw you fall down,.
You thought you lost
Your eternal crown,
Forgetting I paid the cost.
Turn your face to me.
I will set you free.
Speak your heart.
You will always know
We will never part
No matter how far you go.
Brothers, Sisters, children of my Dad,
For you am I painfully sad.
Living life on your own,
When I long to help you through.
Let me sit on your heart's throne.
There is so much for you I want to do!
Author notes
I think what makes Jesus cry is the lack of faith and trust we have for him. We choose our own pain rather than choosing to trust him.

Good poem. Jesus does cry. He cried when Lazarus died. He still cries when we disobey him or we treat each other mean.
