TEARS FROM HEAVEN
by Jeannine McMullen

Tears from heaven fell today
As we gathered by your grave to pray
Our last chance to say goodbye
As the rains fell, how I did cry

The loss I feel each and every day
Must be the same as His body they did lay
In a tomb on the day Jesus died
Oh how they must have cried

Loss of a child is a grievous sorrow
Something we thought would be for tomorrow
Never thinking it could happen today
Yet deaths shroud covers you where you lay

But we have hope in the resurrection
We are covered by the Father's protection
Tho this mortal body of ours can die
Our spirits to heaven, they will fly

This is the promise given to us
If only we will come to Jesus
Then children of God we will be
And to His bosom we can flee

So to His loving arms we fly
One gone home, one to cry
Both comforted by His love
Sent to us from heaven above

Tears from heaven fell today
As we gathered by your grave to pray
Tears of comfort from our loving God
As we laid you to rest beneath the sod
