HIS FACE WAS STREAKED

 

For many many years

his face was streaked

with his own tears

nightly as his voice creaked

in humble prayer.

“Lord, please help her

find Your salvation.

May she see her sin

and turn to You, Lord.”

Then one day, ignored

no longer could Holy Ghost be

by the child's lost relation.

In Christ, she found salvation.

And the boy rejoiced

even louder than the angels in Heaven.

In prayer, he humbly voiced

His thankfulness that very night.

Oh that very night

his face was streaked

with his joyful tears.
