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
