Tonight I Cry

Tonight I Cry

by Ron Wilkerson

Servant of Jesus Christ

Tonight I cry, I do ask why,

my spirit within just wants to die,

I wonder what life would be like in the cold

the place where rest is never known.

A somber filled place lacking God's grace,

Is this where I sit, is this that place? 

I wonder sometimes deep in my heart,

Am I your true bride, should I fear a depart.

But up from my heart springs a river,

The tears in my eyes tell me I am delivered. 

I am moved by God's Spirit to never give up,

Don't give him one inch or your life will dry up.

The enemy fights me and crushes my soul,

In despair I seek my Father alone.

Right now in this room I sit all alone, 

Left to my thoughts and wonder, am I alone?

Does anyone hear the cry of my heart?

Can they feel my pain and agony so deep,

I often wonder if I am the wondering sheep, 

But alas He will come get me and won't leave me alone,

To suffer my death in this cold all alone.

My toil and striving shall soon have its full,

The Word of God shall yet save my soul.

My advocate He is and this is my Hope,

That Jesus will stand and welcome me Home.

His Kingdom I long for but yet will I stay,

to live in this dark and dreary place.

My brethren it hurts me to carry this load,

I yearn in my heart for each of your souls,

To know My Father in an intimate way,

So we can be seen together on THAT DAY!

In Joy we will shout forevermore,

We'll sing of His praises and will always want more

of the Life that He gives so precious to me!

Please come get us my Father, 

Please come get us SOON!

For I don't know how long I can tarry along,

This life is filled with pain and endless death all day long.

I wish it were over and in Your presence I would be,

But your will be done forever in me.

I'll stay and I'll proclaim the Gospel Your way,

I'll shout from the rooftops what ever You say.

But Lord don't forget me when up on Your throne,

For I am down here and crying and simply alone.

I will wait for Your Word and be faithful to speak,

and trust in Your Holy Spirit my life to lead.

I love You Jesus!  I will let the whole world know,

Not just at this site but as I travel along.

Any weary ears, come to me soon,

God has given life and I will share what He has given me

directly with you.

Seek Him now while He may be found!

I plead with you brothers and sisters so dear,

Plead your cause now while Christ is so near.

I love you Jesus.  Amen
