For Those Tears, I Died
Marsha J, Stevens, 1969
Presentation V1a V1b C1 C2 V2a V2b C1 C2 V3a V3b C1 C2

Verse 1a
You said You’d come
and share all my sorrows.
You said You’d be there
for all my tomorrows.

Verse 1b
I came so close to sending You away,
But just like You promised
You came here to stay, I just had to pray.

Chorus 1
And Jesus said:
“Come to the water, stand by my side.
I know you are thirsty,
you won’t be denied.

Chorus 2
I felt ev’ry tear drop
when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you
that for those tears I died.”

Verse 2a
Your goodness, so great,
I can’t understand,
And, dear Lord,
I know that all this was planned.

Verse 2b
I know You’re here now,
and always will be.
Your love loosed my chains
and in You I’m free,
But Jesus, why me?

Verse 3a
Jesus, I give You my heart and my soul.
I know that without God
I’d never be whole.

Verse 3b
Savior, You opened all the right doors
And I thank You, and praise You
from earth’s humble shores.
Take me, I’m Yours.
