Catching All Your Tears

I love to hear you laugh, it's music to my ears

But do you know my dear child, how precious are your tears?

I formed you in the womb and wrote your name upon my heart

Before the world began my child, I loved you from the start

So child take my hand and set aside your fears

And know the One that loves you is catching all your tears

I watched you as you grew from your cradle to your bed

I numbered every hair on your precious tiny head

I was there for every bruise, there for every scrape

There for every beating child that your mind just can't erase

So child take my hand and cast aside your fears

I have been there by your side, throughout all your troubled years

I laughed with every laugh, I was always near

And every item you cried I was catching all your tears

Now you're a man wondering what it's all been for

Rest your head my precious son, you are one of the adored

I know you're confused and wondering if I even have a plan

Do not fear, I'll pick you up and on my solid rock you'll stand

So child take my hand, set aside your fears

Lay down those heavy burdens you've carried all these years

For I do love you so, so much I died for you

I'm building bridges and mending hearts

All the things you cannot do

So child take my hand, leave behind your fears

Give me all your deep felt pain you've carried all these years

For I always love you so and I am always here

And every time you cry my sweet and precious child

I'm catching all your tears
