Blessed Are the Tears

Think of all the times you’ve fallen victim
All the restless nights you’ve wrestled through
The closest of your friends abandoned, helpless
They’re reaching but they’re just not reaching you
You hold no valid thoughts of consolation
The future holds no interest, no concern
The world you love is closing in around you
Clearly now there’s nowhere left to turn
Blessed are the tears that fall
Clean the windows of the soul
And usher in a change of heart
And bring a joy that angels know
The time has come to share your well-kept secrets
The hatred and guilt degrading you
I’m sure you blame yourself for all that’s happened
This time there’s just no way that it’s true
You need to know you’ve got a friend in Jesus
You need to know he felt rejected too
Humiliating pain and unjust treatment
He’s been there so he knows what you’ve been through
Blessed are the tears that fall
Clean the windows of the soul
And usher in a change of heart
And bring a joy that angels know
Blessed are the tears that fall
Wash the stains of life away
Forgiven and forgotten now
A new creation’s here to stay
And God will send a merciful Peacemaker
Comforter of all of those who mourn
We’ll become the pure in heart, the earthly meek
Enduring misdirected scorn
Blessed are the tears that fall
Clean the windows of the soul
And usher in a change of heart
And bring a joy that angels know
Blessed are the tears that fall
Wash the stains of life away
Forgiven and forgotten now
A new creation’s here to stay
Blessed are the tears that fall
