Tears In Heaven

They say there are no tears in Heaven
and that through it all we won't remember why
I can't believe this, as my memories pass by

To forgive and forget, to love and have lost
these seem too painful, all my fears and mistrust
I hold onto each passing thought. Some days I pray
that these memories of mine, the good shephard will soon take away.

Nightmares that haunt me, demons that scare.
How nice it would be, to replace all my fears.

Call me a skeptic. Not that I don't believe.
I just can't imagine of ever being set free.
How sad it would be, if my loved ones I don't see.
I guess that's the reason there would be no tears for me.

I pray that this Hell will remain on the earth,
that when I go to Heaven, I can wipe off this dirt.
But deep inside,
I know I will hide my tears in Heaven for those who chose not to come inside.

And I shall remain eternally, in the sweet by and by.
My tears in Heaven, are private for me.
And only myself, and My Sweet Jesus will ever see.
For HE knows my heart. And knows I cant forget.
These troubles that haunt me, not soon I'll forget

I pray for peace and joy and forgiveness.
And maybe someday in Heaven,
I too will have forgotten.
Erase my mind dear LORD,
that's all I ask,
or my tears will be ever flowing.
My heart is a heavy task
