He mourns with me

He mourns with me
by Joel Howard

Do you hear my call? 

Are you with me, God? 

Are you near me Jesus? 

Are you near me, O my God? 

Do you see my tears? 

Do you see me crying? 

Am I all alone

as I feel I'm dying?

He mourns with me

He mourns too

He is with me

My God sees my tears 

And he cries with me too

My God sees your tears

And he's crying with you

Child, be not afraid

Child, I hear your crying

Child, I know your ways

Child, I know your aching

I will outdo you

In matters of patience and tender affection

I love you, child, to perfection

In this place of solitude

In this place of confusion

It seems never ending

But from the beginning

I've cried with you too

Child, I know your name

Child, I hear you crying

Child, be not afraid

Child, be not afraid

I will outdo you

In matters of love and devotion, its true

I love you, child, more than you knew
