Yesterday i cried....
I cried not for myself, but for others
I cried for unborn chrildren
Those who never got to see their mothers smile
I cried for hungry children all over the world
I cried for victims of hate crimes
Young men and women who were cut off in their prime
I cried for mothers whose children are imprisoned
I cried for young girls whose occupation is prostitution
Those young adicts hocked on sex, drug and alchohol
For them i just hand my head and bawl
I felt their pain as if it was my own
I felt the agony of the mother who had just lost her son
I felt the pain of knives, gun shots, I felt real pain
I felt the drug flowing through my veins
I felt the prostitute quilt and shame
I wanted to cry lord help me, but no words came
Only tears, heart wrenching sobs that would not subside
Yesterday i cried like I have never before cried
Then a comforting thought came to mind
Jesus Christ put his life on the line
I dried my eyes, and wiped my tears
The pain he felt no man could bear
I look up toward heaven and whispered
Thank you lord, my tear drops you heard
Thank you, thank you lord for my life
Yesterday I cried......
