父の涙

This is a song originally written in Japanese, by 岩渕まこと。It speaks about the power of love at the cross. As I study this song, I couldn't help to introduce to you, it just touched my soul. The Cross is the cry of our Father in loving His One and Only Son, and that love and that sacrifice turns into living water that flows out from the cross, to reach and heal His people that are so lost, so unsure.
