you cried in the darkness
you let your Father down
His Spirit is grieved
yet He loves you still
He said "blessed are those who mourn"
for they shall be comforted

the tears that you cry
in sorrow for your sin
are only the raindrops
that come before the sun
breaks forth in holiness

this sorrow is a herald
of a joy that will be
a living fountain
welling up
from the raindrops
that you cried
