Song

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."
Revelation 21:4

A song for the road you're on.

[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
