With Tears I Sought Him Poem by J. D. Martin

By night with others sound asleep
They all had peace and rest.
My waking eyes were open wide
To lie I found it best.

I sought him whom my soul did love
With tears I sought him out.
He bowed his ear from heaven above
And stopped my crying mouth.

My hungry soul He filled with good
He soothed my doubts and fears.
My sores he washed with his pure blood
And took away my tears.

What to my Savior shall I give
Who freely gave to me?
I'll serve Him here while I still live
And for eternity.
