You, O God, have followed me all my days, searched my heart and all my ways\u2026
\nLed me to my new birth, filled me with a heavenly worth\u2026
\nTaught me that life\u2019s not fair, and to cast all my care\u2026
\nUpon you, for it\u2019s there, I will find my rest\u2026
\nIn each trial and in every test\u2026my tears are shed and I\u2019ll not protest\u2026
\nAs you collect them in your bottle\u2026<\/h6>\n
Tears I\u2019ve cried throughout the years
\nSome of joy, some of fears
\nYou collect my tears and store them in your bottle,
\nSeemed at times, it was utter madness\u2026
\nSometimes relief, and sometimes gladness, was met on this path called life\u2026<\/h6>\n
But all along the roads I\u2019ve traveled, broken dreams, life, unraveled\u2026
\nOne constant still remains\u2026
\nI can trust in Jesus\u2019 name\u2026
\nFor you take notice of those who pray, and tears that are shed along the way\u2026
\nIn your book of remembrance, you write them down\u2026
\nFor those who will obtain the golden-crown; heaven is where they\u2019ll stay.<\/h6>\n
Tears for a lost soul, tears so bold, tears like rain, do fall\u2026
\nThrough it all\u2026
\nOur tears are kept in your bottle,
\nCalled to remembrance, who we are, like tiny crystals; sparkling stars\u2026
\nTo be poured out as a sweet fragrance to our God\u2026
\nHe bottles our tears and remembers them all\u2026
\nEven now as they gently fall\u2026
\nYou collect them in your bottle\u2026<\/h6>\n
Tears for life and tears in death, tears shed for one\u2019s last breath
\nBottled by my father\u2019s hand\u2026
\nThank you, Father, every detail of our lives matter to you, even our tears.<\/h6>\n

Psalm 56:8 The Passion Translation (TPT)<\/em>
\nYou\u2019ve kept track of all my wandering and my weeping. You\u2019ve stored my many tears in your bottle\u2014not one will be lost. For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance.<\/em><\/h6>\n
Malachi 3:16 Tree of Life Version (TLV)<\/em>
\nThen those who revere ADONAI spoke with each other, and ADONAI took notice and heard, and a scroll of remembrance was written before Him, for those who revere ADONAI, even those who esteem His Name.<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
