Tears

Though for now we walk down roads of sorrow
Underneath this heavy weight of grief
Soon there’ll be a bright and glorious morning
Where we’ll find our joy at last complete
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
And the only thing that’s missing there is tears
Though for now we feel the ache of parting
Burdened with the pain of sad goodbyes
Yet we cling to that great hope He’s promised
Of a glad reunion in the sky
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
And the only thing that’s missing there is tears
If you listen close you’ll almost hear it
Oh the melody that’s rising sweet
Of the faithful saints gone on before us
Gathered safely round our Savior’s feet
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
And the only thing that’s missing there is tears
Every heart made whole
Every eye is clear
And the only thing that’s missing there is tears
