Today I cried a “godly tear”
And before you gasp,
Oh my!
What made him cry?
Those holy tears
What made his eyes, not dry?
Was it great wickedness?
Or besetting sin
That made these rivers flow
Was it emptiness?
Deep within
Causing this tearful show
It wasn’t a single thing
Or even something
More sinister
That might now require
An audience with
His caring Parish minister
No! What he meant
And godliness,
He did gain
The simple truth
That when God cries
It's because we'll sin again.
