Tears of Happiness

  He stood quietly as the crowds lined the cobbled streets so true
And watched the great commotion with disbelief, shock and pain
This gentle man from Galilee was being ushered through
He carried the heavy cross without a word of complaint.

  Suddenly the man could feel tears and sadness coming to him
He just didn't understand why this kind man was being tried
He'd brought so much goodness and always wanted hope to begin
And now He was being sentenced to death and crucified.

  The man watched in shock as they nailed Him to the heavy large cross
He could feel tears continue to stream down his pale sad face
He could hear wailing and weeping over this terrible loss
Bowing his head in disbelief over what could not be faced.

  As time passed and people left he said a prayer one more time
He began to walk the long winding road to his home
Not exactly sure how he would heal or what he would find
Suddenly he discovered that he was not alone.

  A man all dressed in White appeared to him with great happiness
"Why are you so sad and despondent as you walk today?"
The man told him everything he had saw with distress
Just then the stranger simply smiled and had this to say.

"This loving man named Jesus died on the cross for you
So that you would be forgiven of it all and set free
He loves you with a perfect love no matter what you're going through
You will live with Him in paradise for all of eternity.

The man bowed his head and gave his heart to God that day
But when he looked the stranger in White wasn't there anymore
He had found such tears of happiness in a brand new way
And the true meaning of life and love and so much more!
