WHERE ARE YOUR TEARS By Wesley L. Duewel from the book shown here (see the book about tears below the poem).
There are tears in the sinner’s eyes.
Habits of sin binding heart, hand, and feet;
Broken with shame at his sin and defeat.
Hot burning tears coursing down his hot cheek –
There are tears in the sinner’s eyes.
There are tears in the suff’rer’s eyes.
Long weary hours of disease, weakness, pain,
Praying that health be restored once again,
Waiting for healing, but waiting in vain –
There are tears in the suff’rer’s eyes.
There are tears in discouraged eyes.
Misunderstood by the ones who should know;
No one to love, to compassion bestow,
Fainting, discouraged, with hope burning low –
There are tears in discouraged eyes.
There are tears in non-Christian eyes.
Calling to idols of wood and of stone,
Calling in vain, Christ and Savior unknown,
Comfortless, helpless, without God, alone –
There are tears in non-Christian eyes.
There are tears in the Savior’s eyes.
Tears for those sinning, discouraged, and ill,
Tears for the straying ones, out of His will,
Tears for the millions unreached by us still –
There are tears in the Savior’s eyes.
But where are the tears in your eyes?
Can you not weep with the millions who weep?
Have you no tears for the other lost sheep?
Jesus is weeping! Are you still asleep?
OH! WHERE ARE THE TEARS IN YOUR EYES?
