LET YOUR TEARS WASH OVER ME

© 1982 Words and Music by Mark B. Sostrin

 

A                                D                                                         A

When you're sad and lonely, you're candle's burnt at both ends

                                                                 E

Feeling old and worn, died but not born again

       A                    D                                                 E

We all were little children, clean and gentle as the lamb

 D  A                      D  A               E                                  A

Jesus I know you hear us, have mercy on the house of man

D                              A                                                 E

Deep in someone's heart, meaning well but blind to see

     D    A                      D    A                  E                        A

Almost home but not quite yet, let your tears wash over me

 

This world takes us traveling, sometimes on a crooked path

Show us the way straight and narrow, lead us home once again

We're on our knees for mercy, we're praying to make amends

Jesus I know you hear us, have mercy on the house of man

 

Deep in someone's heart, meaning well but blind to see

Almost home but not quite yet, let your tears wash over me
