V1
The ones you cried 10 years ago when a good friend walked away
The ones you cried that late midnight when the break you bad news came
Even now they?re not forgotten God remembers them
The ones right now you're fighting, don?t hold them in
(Chorus)
There are seeds of joy tomorrow
That You?re watering today
There's a future and a purpose
For every single pain
Let the sadness, let your questions
Roll on down your face
They?ve got a place
So bring 'em here
God doesn?t waste your tears
V2
This might be
Making your heart tender toward
Someone needing help
So you can share your story
Bringing life to someone else
Let this be your comfort
Let this be your hope
He's got plans to use the hurt
In ways that you don't know
(Chorus)
There are seeds of joy tomorrow
That you?re watering today
There's a future and a purpose
For every single pain
Let the sadness, let your questions
Roll on down your face
They?ve got a place
So bring 'em here
God doesn?t waste your tears
God doesn?t waste your tears
(bridge)
He?s gonna use ?em
Just believe it
He?s gonna use ?em
He knows what they're needing
He?s gonna use ?em
Just believe it
Just believe it
(chorus)
There are seeds of joy tomorrow
That You?re watering today
There's a future and a purpose
For every single pain
Let the sadness, let your questions
Roll on down your face
They?ve got a place
So bring 'em here
God doesn?t waste your tears
God doesn?t waste your tears
God doesn?t waste your tears
God doesn?t waste your tears
