| For Those Tears I Died You said You'd come and share all my sorrows. You said You'd be there for all my tomorrows. I came so close to sending You away, But just like You promised, You came here to stay; I just had to pray. Chorus And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by my side. I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied. I felt every teardrop, when in darkness you cried; And I strove to remind you, That for those tears I died." Your goodness so great, I can't understand. And, dear Lord, I know that all this was planned. I know You're here now and always will be. Your love loosed my chains and in You I'm free, But, Jesus, why me? (Chorus) Jesus, I give You my heart and my soul. I know that without You, I'd never be whole. Savior, You opened all the right doors. And I thank You and praise You from earth's humble shores; Take me I'm Yours! (Chorus) And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by my side. I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied. I felt every teardrop, when in darkness you cried; And I strove to remind you, That for those tears I died. And I strove to remind you, That for those tears I died."
