Blessed Are the Tears (LP Version) - Bryan Duncan

Think of all the times you've fallen victim

All the restless nights you've wrestled through

The closest of your friends abandoned helpless

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 heartchange of

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
