Tears in the Light

(Verse 1)The window pane is cold against my hand A heavy silence falls across the land I watch the carriage fade into the gray And wonder how I’ll walk without you today The empty chair, the tears I cannot hide A broken heart, a love that won’t subside But in this valley where the shadows fall I hear a whisper, answering my call (Chorus)Oh, will the circle be unbroken? By and by, Lord, by and by Though the grave has claimed the one I loved There’s a better home awaiting in the sky You are the resurrection and the life You wipe away the sorrow from my eyes My grief is real, but so is Your great grace I’ll see your face, I’ll see your face (Verse 2)The Savior wept beside a brother’s tomb He knows the heavy sorrow of this room He knows the sting of death, the bitter pain But He has conquered, and He lives to reign So I will not despair as those without hope I’ll lean upon the promise, lean upon the Lord My labor’s done, your crown of glory waits Beyond the river, past the open gates (Chorus)Oh, will the circle be unbroken?By and by, Lord, by and by Though the grave has claimed the one I loved There’s a better home awaiting in the sky You are the resurrection and the life You wipe away the sorrow from my eyes My grief is real, but so is Your great grace I’ll see your face, I’ll see your face (Bridge)No more mourning, no more crying No more pain beneath the sun For the old has passed, the new is rising The victory is won! My Father’s house has many rooms And You have gone to prepare a place Where love eternal never fades And I will run into Your embrace! (Chorus) Oh, the circle will be unbroken! By and by, Lord, by and by Though the earth has claimed the one I loved There’s a better home awaiting in the sky You are the resurrection and the life You’ve wiped away the sorrow from my eyes My grief was real, but so is Your great grace Now I see Your face, I see Your face (Outro) The Lord is close to the brokenhearted He saves the crushed in spirit, He is near So I will sing through the fading shadows Till the perfect day is here By and by…In the sky…I’ll see you there.
