Way of Tears

Way of Tears Along a winding road - a narrow way A crowd now gathers on these streets of grey To watch a man pass by condemned to die this day - On the way of tears. They come to jeer a man who healed the lame To watch him suffering who healed their pain They come to ask him if his God will save him now From the way of tears. Along the way of tears, this way of sorrow Slowly comes the man who will bring tomorrow And if these stones could speak they would scream the truth About this man of tears. They would scream the truth! O man of suffering - gentle lamb You stood before the world truth was all you had Feared and rejected by those you came to save On the way of tears. O sinless man of God, man of peace You, the Emmanuel, bleeding on these streets And now you stumble beneath the weight of my sin On the way of tears. Along the way of tears, this way of sorrow Slowly comes the man who would bring tomorrow And if these stones could speak they would scream the truth About the man of tears. Savior! Redeemer! Truth!
