Tears have a voice -brooks

[b]Tears have a voice[/b]

(Thomas Brooks, "The Crown and Glory of Christianity,
or, HOLINESS, the Only Way to Happiness", 1662)

"The Lord has heard the voice of my weeping."
Psalm 6:8

Tears have a voice. God has an eye as well upon
a man's tears--as upon his prayers. Penitent tears
are divine ambassadors, which never return from
the throne of grace without answers of grace. Peter
said nothing, but went out and wept bitterly--and
obtained mercy. Tears are a kind of silent prayers,
which will at last prevail for mercy.

"I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears."
Isaiah 38:5

A sinner's face never shines so beautiful, as
when it is bedewed with penitential tears.
