For Those Tears I Died
Marsha J. Stevens/Russ Stevens

 D              Bm        G           A                    
 You said you'd come and share all my sorrows,
 D              Bm          G      	A                      
 You said you'd be there for all my tomorrows,
 D        A         G            A               
 I came so close to sending you away,
    D             Bm     	G 	       A                 
 But just like you promised, you came here to stay, 
    A7		D	D7
I just had to pray.
 
                 G                   D                      
 And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by my side.
     A                                D   D7        
 I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied.
             G                              D          
 I felt every tear drop when in darkness you cried,
                 A                	A7         D              
 And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died."



 Your goodness so great I can't understand.
 And dear Lord, I know that all this was planned;
 I know you're here now and always will be.
 Your love loosed my chains and in You I'm free, 
 but Jesus why me?


 Jesus, I give you my heart and my soul,
 I know now without God, I'd never be whole.
 Savior, you opened all the right doors,
 And I thank you and praise you from earth's humble shores,
 Take me I'm yours.
