Tara Montpetit and Brian Haney's song 'For Your Tears I Died' is a gentle invitation to find comfort and healing in Jesus. The lyrics speak directly to those who are hurting, lonely, or struggling, reminding them that Christ's death and resurrection were for their specific pain. Each verse addresses different needs—sin, sickness, loss—and affirms that Jesus rose again to bring joy and restoration. The song emphasizes personal care from God, who sees every tear and offers living water. It is a message of hope and redemption, grounded in the gospel's promise that Christ's sacrifice covers all human suffering.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

He said come to the water

And stand by my side

And drink from the fountain

You won't be denied

I have seen every teardrop

That fell from your eyes

And I rose to tell you

For your tears I died

(repeat)


Verse 1

He's calling for the sinner

And the backslider too

You ought to be there

He died for you

He died on the cross

But now He's alive

And He rose to tell you

For your sins He died


Verse 2

He's calling for the sick

And calling for the lame

If you don't be healed

He's not to blame

He died on the cross

But now He's alive

And He rose to tell you

For your pain He died


Verse 3

He's calling for the motherless

And the fatherless too

No sister, or no brother

To care for you

He died on the cross

But now He's alive

And He rose to tell you

For your joy He died
