Sincere Cry

My pain, no man knows

Though they be close

They see only a smile

A facade^* of my hurt

I bear alone my cry

When free shoulders are bare

And to one who seeks comfort and finds not

I am a fool in dire need

It’s not that I desire

My woe alone to bear

But the one I will to share with

May dash my hopes and hurt me more

O Jesus you know the heart

That You made of Your word

Send me one of Your own

My woe if not to bear, share!

Proverbs 14:10 “Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can fully share its joy.(NLT)
