Though it seems it's delayed
Delayed is not denied
The wait is only has only given
You strength to stand in the fight
Be encouraged my brother
Sister don't give up
Your tears have paid off for you
Your tears have paid off for you
I know it hurts sometimes
You're still on God's mind
It might seem like He's gone
But He'll show up on time
Please don't you worry
It's working out for your good
Your tears have paid off for you
Your tears have paid off for you
There's joy for your sorrow
There is hope for tomorrow
Shelter from the rain
There's healing for Your pain
Your tears have paid off
