For Those Tears I Died

I have not put a song up for a while, but felt the Lord leading me to put this one up today. Maybe it will bless someone's day, and put some encouragement into a hurting soul. This song always brought tears to my eyes. It is amazing how much God loves us, even when we did not deserve His love.

You said you'd come and share all my sorrows,
You said you'd be there for all my tomorrows,
I came so close to sending you away,
But just like you promised, you came here to stay,
I just had to pray.

Chorus:
And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by my side.
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied.
I felt every tear drop, when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you, It's for those tears I died"

Your goodness so great, I can't understand,
And dear Lord, I know now that all this was planned.
I know You're here now and always will be,
Your love loosened my chains, and in You I'm free,
But Jesus why me?

Chorus

Jesus, I give You, my heart and my soul,
I know now without God, I'll never be whole,
Savior, You opened all the right doors,
And I thank You and praise You from earth's humble shores,
Take me I'm Yours!

Chorus
