Lyrics

For Those Tears I Died - Marsha Stevens copyright EMI 1969 <br />
<br />
You said You’d come and share all my sorrows, <br />
You said You’d be there for all my tomorrows, <br />
I came so close to sending You away, <br />
But just like You promised, You came there to stay, <br />
I just had to pray. <br />
<br />
CHORUS: <br />
And Jesus said, “Come to the water, stand by my side, <br />
I know you are thirsty, you won’t be denied. <br />
I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried, <br />
And I strove to remind you, that for those tears I died.” <br />
<br />
(Y Jesus dijo, “Ven a las aquas y puedes tomar, <br />
La sed de tu vida, yo puedo quitar. <br />
Tus lagrimas siento, y-entenieblas sufri, <br />
Con amor te recuerdo, por tu vida mori.”) <br />
<br />
Your goodness so great, I can’t understand, <br />
And, dear Lord, I know that all this was planned. <br />
I know You’re here now and always will be, <br />
Your love loosed my chains and in You I’m free, <br />
But Jesus why me. <br />
<br />
Jesus, I give You my heart and my soul, <br />
I know that without God I’d never be whole, <br />
Savior, You opened all the right doors, <br />
And I thank You and praise You from earth’s humble shores, <br />
Take me I’m Yours. <br />
