Every Tear

[Intro] Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh [Verse 1] There's a girl in a room with the lights turned low Trying not to let anybody know That the smile she wore all day at work Was holding back a world of hurt There's a man in a truck on a county line Talking to the silence for the hundredth time Saying God, are You still somewhere near And Heaven bends down close enough to hear [Pre-Chorus] When the night gets loud When the heart gives out When you think you've disappeared [Chorus] He keeps every tear He knows every name Every broken prayer Every whisper of pain When you feel forgotten When the way's unclear You are not alone He keeps every tear [Verse 2] There's a mother with a picture in a worn-out frame Still saying good morning to a loved one's name And the chair at the table feels empty still Like a hole no time can fill There's a kid who got told he was too far gone There's a soul who's been running for way too long But mercy's not afraid of where you've been And Love is still calling you home again [Pre-Chorus] When the night gets loud When the heart gives out When you think nobody sees [Chorus] He keeps every tear He knows every name Every broken prayer Every whisper of pain When you feel forgotten When the way's unclear You are not alone He keeps every tear [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh Not one is wasted Oh-oh-oh Not one is lost [Bridge] He will not force the door He will not bind your hands But He stands with mercy open wide Calling you to stand He loved you at your lowest He saw you at your worst And before you ever reached for Him He reached for you first [Breakdown] Every midnight, every goodbye Every question asking why Every hospital parking lot Every hope you thought forgot Every failure, every fear Every ache no one could hear Every road that disappeared He was there, He was near [Final Chorus] He keeps every tear He knows every name Every broken prayer Every whisper of pain When you feel forgotten When the way's unclear You are not alone He keeps every tear He keeps every tear He holds every heart Every wounded place Every hidden scar When you feel abandoned When the night draws near You are never alone He keeps every tear [Outro] Oh-oh-oh Not one is wasted Oh-oh-oh Not one is lost He keeps every tear
