When the Tears Will Be Gone
GriefSorrowComfortHope
A tender country-gospel song for the chair left empty, the hospital room at night, and the grief that settles like stone. It does not deny the present ache; it holds it beneath the sure promise that God is near now and that, in Christ, every tear will one day be wiped away.
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore."
A song for the road you're on.

When the Tears Will Be Gone Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Verse 1] There's a weight I've carried so long A grief that settles like stone Your chair at the table, your coffee grown cold There's a day when I won't grieve alone [Pre-Chorus] But the promise still burns like a flame in the dark And the morning is coming, I've read it by heart [Chorus] The tears will be gone, every one wiped away No more night, no more pain, no more death to face Every scar will be a story of grace When the tears, when the tears will be gone [Verse 2] I have prayed in the dark of a hospital room Where the monitors traced every breath He is writing an ending I cannot yet see Where the last word He speaks is not death [Pre-Chorus] But the promise still burns like a flame in the dark And the morning is coming, I've read it by heart [Chorus] The tears will be gone, every one wiped away No more night, no more pain, no more death to face Every scar will be a story of grace When the tears, when the tears will be gone [Verse 3] He will dwell with His people at last No more curse and no more chains The former things have passed away Behold, He makes all things new again [Bridge] Hold on, hold on, just a little while He is near to the brokenhearted Hold on, hold on, He counts every trial Not one tear falls uncounted [Final Chorus] The tears will be gone, every one wiped away No more night, no more pain, no more death to face These scars I have carried will testify of grace When the tears, when the tears will be gone [Outro Tag] Every one... wiped away... The tears will be gone
