He understands my tears...


It's hard to believe He still loves me

Knowing how wrong I have been

When all I can say is I'm sorry

When all I can feel is my sin


He understands when all I do is cry

He feels the hurt that no one can see down inside

And when the words get in the way I know He still hears

For He understands my tears.


You may not believe that I'm broken

For all you can see is my smile

Oh but He hears the heart that's unspoken

And He gives me strength through each trial


He understands when all I do is cry

He feels the hurt that no one can see down inside

And when the words get in the way I know He still hears

For He understands my tears.


Oh when the words get in the way I know He still hears

For He understands when no one else can

He understands my tears.
