He listens to her weeping.
He hears her mournful sighs.
He understands her sorrow.
He sees her downcast eyes.

He knows her heart is breaking.
He cares about her pain.
She lays her Isaac at His feet.
She chooses Him to reign.

She stands no longer broken.
She turns to walk away.
Her sacrificial journey made,
She's forever changed today.

He gave her "rest" at Shiloh.
She gave her heart's desire.
He remembered, in due season.
His will would soon transpire.
