"Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. The LORD hath heard my supplication " (Psalm 6:8,9). "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life" (Proverbs 13:12). "Now... in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground... This is a lamentation" (Ezekiel 19:13,14). "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes... for the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:4).
Depart
from me, iniquity,
For
God has heard my supplication.
From
weeping He has set me free
With
joy instead of lamentation.
Though
sometimes hope may be deferred
And
burdens weigh upon my heart,
The
Lord revives me by His Word
And
lamentations then depart.
Now
in this wilderness I find
A
very dry and thirsty ground,
But
soon I'll leave this all behind
For
heaven where no tears are found.
Lord,
thank You for this glimpse ahead
When
lamentation shall be gone,
Replaced
by endless joy instead
When
heaven's morning then shall dawn.
