Healing In His Tears

Smokie Norful's "Healing In His Tears" centers on a striking image: Jesus weeping, and those tears themselves becoming the source of comfort. The opening lines describe Christ crying for the singer's pain, removing agony and strain, and lending an ear to fear — a picture of a Savior who does not stand distant from human suffering but enters it. The song leans on the incarnation, noting that Jesus is "both God and man," and asks who could better understand our grief than the one who comforts us and died to set us free. A key turn comes with the reference to Lazarus, tying the Lord's tears at the tomb to His ongoing care for believers today. The lyric insists that when Jesus feels your pain, nothing in your life remains the same. The closing section dissolves into simple, repeated cries of "healing," letting the word carry the weight the verses have built. Rather than a triumphant declaration, the song holds a quiet, tender confidence: that Christ's empathy is not abstract but personal, and that His sorrow over our suffering is itself a channel of restoration.
