Tears (1) Poem by Michael P. Johnson

I’m so distressed, can no one see?
Is there no God above?
I need someone to set me free
I need someone to love

Can God, if real hear now my prayer?
Will He perceive my need?
Would He reveal He truly cares?
If I to Him would plead

In tears, I pray beside by bed
Both day and night I groan
How much I’ve wished that I were dead
Oh God I’m so alone

Even in crowds, I’ve often found
That no one sees my tears
Amidst the throng I make no sound
And so it’s been for years

All this and more, I’ve had to bear
Can no one lend a hand?
Does no one know does no one care?
Does no one understand?

At times, I think I’m all cried out
Yet deep inside I’ll feel
Life’s tears return to make me doubt
That Jesus Christ is real

Can joy, be just a prayer away?
Can words, reach God above?
Can I obtain some peace today?
Can I receive Your love?

Please show this child if You are real
Please hear me as I cry
If God my sorrows now can feel
Then please don’t pass me by…
