Though at the time the pain pierces my mind
Penetrating to the point where my heart resides
Even when I can't understand the seasons that brings the reason to ask the question why
I appreciate all the tears I've cried

Those dark moments that made me feel You were unkind
By allowing my emotions to be exposed to a world wherein I felt ostracized
Though at the time my consciousness couldn't even recognize what was to be realized
I can say I appreciate all the tears I've cried

At times I felt You had me going through the motions like a panamime
Blessed with many gifts, but no sense of purpose like an eagle flying blind
But You had a plan, You were just waiting for the right time
That's why I can appreciate all the tears I've cried

David said weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning time
But damn! The pain felt so intolerable I felt I must die in order for the sun to rise
But You did that for me to show that I was the apple of your eye
Thank you Jesus, I appreciate the tears you cried

I accept the fact that the road ahead is plagued with trials that will throw my mind
Situations and circumstances I'll only understand better and better bye and bye
But now that I know my pain births my prize
I will forever appreciate all the tears I cry
