Lyrics
Every Tear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The world just took another spin in the wrong direction
Hate found a handgun
And now nobody feels safe
I gotta turn off the news
So my kids don't see another tragedy
I wanna let them stay innocent at least for one more day
Just when I think it can't get worse
It gets worse
There are no words to say
How much more can our hearts take?
In this shattered place where our shadows cover
Where we speak of love while we hurt each other
My heart aches for home right now more than ever
But I'm holding on to the hope of heaven
And the promise that the day is drawing near
You will wipe away every tear
You will wipe away every tear
There will be no more terror
No more riots in the street
And we will all be seen beyond the color of our skin
No more fighting, no more war, no more hunger left ignored
No more sickness no more pain
We are here for now but we won't stay
In this shattered place where our shadows cover
Where we speak of love while we hurt each other
My heart aches for home right now more than ever
But I'm holding on to the hope of heaven
And the promise that the day is drawing near
You will wipe away every tear
You will wipe away every tear
The Lord is close to the broken hearted
The Lord is close to the broken hearted
Oh Lord be close to the broken hearted
We need you now
We need you now
In this shattered place where our shadows cover
Where we speak of love while we hurt each other
My heart aches for home right now more than ever
But I'm holding on to the hope of heaven
And the promise that the day is drawing near
When your great light will make the darkness disappear
You will wipe away every tear
You will wipe away every tear
Lord, be close to the broken hearted
Lord, be close to the broken hearted
