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
 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
 That 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
 That 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
 That 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
