The Tear

Late last night I saw you standing there

The lovely ribbons in your hair

You were all alone

You were all alone

You thought you were all alone

But I was there

Standing next to you

Seeing all the tears you shed

Seeing all the tears you shed

I came into your room

I came into your room

You did not see Me standing there

But I was standing there

And I reached out My hand

I reached out My hand to hold you

But you were crying

And you did not hear

No, no, no

You did not hear

You couldn't hear

For there was a tear in your eye

I tried to brush it away

I tried to brush your tear away

But I could not brush your tear away

Someday, someday, someday

You will let Me brush your tear

Away

And I will brush the tears from your eyes

And I will brush your tears

Away

They shall neither hunger any more nor thirst any more

The sun shall not strike them nor any heat

For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne

Will shepherd them

And lead them to living fountains of waters

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes

There shall be no more death

Nor sorrow

Nor crying

There shall be no more pain

For the former things have passed away
