Every Tear Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The world just took another spin in the wrong direction
Hate found a handgun
And now nobody feels safe
I gotta turn off the news so my kids don't see another tragedy
Oh, I wanna let 'em stay innocent
At least for one more day
'Cause just when I think it can't get worse
It gets worse, and there are no words to say
How much more can our hearts take
[Chorus]
In this shattered place
Where the shadows cover
Where we speak of love
While we hurt each other
My heart aches for home
Right now more than ever
But I'm holding on
To the hope of heaven
And the promise that the day is drawing near
You will wipe away every tear
You will wipe away every tear
[Verse 2]
There will be no more terror, no more riots in the street
And we will all be seen
Beyond the color of our skin
No more fighting, no more war
No more hunger left ignored
No more sickness, no more pain
We're here for now, but we won't stay
[Chorus]
In this shattered place
Where the shadows cover
Where we speak of love
While we hurt each other
My heart aches for home
Right now more than ever

But I'm holding on
To the hope of heaven
And the promise that the day is drawing near
You will wipe away every tear
You will wipe away every tear
[Bridge]
The Lord is close to the broken hearted
The Lord is close to the broken hearted
Oh Lord, be close to the broken hearted
We need You now
We need You now
[Chorus]
In this shattered place
Where the shadows cover
Where we speak of love
While we hurt each other
My heart aches for home
Right now more than ever
But I'm holding on
To the hope of heaven
And the promise that the day is drawing near
When Your great light will make the darkness disappear
And You will wipe away every tear
Every tear
You will wipe away every tear
[Outro]
Lord, be close to the broken hearted
Lord, be close to the broken hearted
