Lyrics

A Mother's Tears

I've prayed all I know to pray
And I've said all I know to say
These days my prayers simply come as sighs
When I'm alone, I still cry

Are a mother's tears simply liquid prayers that flood heaven's throne
And are all my sighs really cries for help that You hear and know
Sometimes I waver and give in to fear
But You know how I've cried out so many years
Father in heaven, please listen to my tears

My dreams did not come true
And my heart is broken now and bruised
It's not the way I thought it would be
I need Your grace to face reality

Are a mothers tears simple liquid prayers that flood heaven's throne
And are all my sighs really cries for help that You hear and know
Please hear my longings may they reach heavens ears
With groanings so deep Lord that only You hear
Father in heaven, please listen to my tears
Father in heaven, please listen to my tears
Father in heaven, please answer my tears
