Matthew West - Every Tear Lyrics

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

I wanna let em stay innocent at least for one more day

Just when I think it can't get worse

It gets worse

There are no words to say

How much more can our hearts take?

In this shattered place where our 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

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 are here for now but we won't stay

In this shattered place where our 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

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

In this shattered place where our 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

Lord be close to the broken hearted

Lord be close to the broken hearted
