Tiny little sparrow fell from the tree Sometimes I feel that little wounded sparrow is me Tiny broken wings that never will fly I wonder does her little heart know how to cry
Does her heart know how to cry And are her tears gently falling inside Crying tears she's been trying to hide Does her heart know how to cry like mine
Warm velvet words poured like sweet honey from his tongue Until tonight I'd never heard the Holy one He said that He would cradle every teardrop in His hand He'd take away the pain and turn them into precious gems
Jesus knows the tears that you've cried And He has seen them falling inside Crying tears you've been trying to hide Jesus know the tears that you've cried like mine
Shimmering diamonds, rubies of red Bright as the blood that my dear Saviour shed Emeralds of green, sapphires of blue He'll take away your teardrops And turn them into jewels
Song Description: "A woman whom I had never met gave me a prophetic word from God over the phone. The words God spoke to me through her were so profound, moving and eloquent that I just had to write a song. Months passed by BUT all I had were the lyrics to the second verse. Months later, as I travelled through my own crisis, I wrote the verse about the sparrow. I then put the two songs together and "Tears" was completed. Upon finally meeting my new friend, who's words from God had so inspired me, I sang this song to her. As I finished singing it to her she was speechless. She said that when she was a young girl someone had given her a word from God and that she .... was a tiny little sparrow! (Isaiah 54:11&12)"
