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 |
