When I'm overcome with groaning
And the words just slip away
The tears, they start a flowing
Speaking in a quiet way
They tell a tale of longing
That words can never show
But the Master, He is listening
To every drop that flows
When tears speak louder than my cry
He knows the reason why
Every fear, every hope inside
He hears them in my sighs
Through the sorrow, through the pain
He's carried me through again and again
He knows the weight I cannot bear
That is when my tears become a prayer
In a language beyond whispers
They reach His gentle ear
Telling Him of all my heartaches
Of my every doubt and fear
For words can be so feeble
When they try to bare my soul
But in those moments of anguish
He takes the weight and makes me whole
When tears speak louder than my cry
He knows the reason why
Every fear, every hope inside
He hears them in my sighs
Through the sorrow, through the pain
He's carried me through again and again
He knows the weight I cannot bear
That is when my tears become a prayer
He hears each silent groaning
Every tear that falls in pain
He remembers all my losses
And bears the heartache in His name
He took my deepest sorrow
Carried it to the cross
And He whispers to my spirit
That not a single tear is lost
When tears speak louder than my cry
He knows the reason why
Every fear, every hope inside
He hears them in my sighs
Through the sorrow, through the pain
He's carried me through again and again
He knows the weight I cannot bear
That is when my tears become a prayer
He knows my deepest longing
Sees the tears fall from my eyes
And because He died to save me
I don't have to live in disguise
There's no fear left to bind me
No chain to hold me down
For the love He showed upon that tree
Is where my hope is found
When tears speak louder than my cry
He knows the reason why
Every fear, every hope inside
He hears them in my sighs
Through the sorrow, through the pain
He's carried me through again and again
He knows the weight I cannot bear
That is when my tears become a prayer
Oh, the day is fast approaching
When He will reappear
Despair will turn to dancing
And He'll wipe away each tear
No more groaning, no more sorrow
Just joy that never ends
In the presence of the Savior
Where broken hearts will mend
When tears speak louder than my cry
He knows the reason why
Every fear, every hope inside
He hears them in my sighs
Through the sorrow, through the pain
He's carried me through again and again
He knows the weight I cannot bear
That is when my tears become a prayer
Oh, the day is fast approaching
When He will reappear
Despair will turn to dancing
And He'll wipe away each tear
No more groaning, no more sorrow
Just joy that never ends
In the presence of the Savior
Where broken hearts will mend
When tears speak louder than my cry
He knows the reason why
Every fear, every hope inside
He hears them in my sighs
Through the sorrow, through the pain
He's carried me through again and again
He knows the weight I cannot bear
That is when my tears become a prayer
When tears speak louder than my cry
He knows the reason why
He'll carry me through every fear
And wipe away my every tear
