I've had questions, without answers
I've known sorrow, I have known pain
But there's one thing, that I'll cling to
You are faithful, Jesus You're true

When hope is lost, I'll call You Savior
When paid surrounds, I'll call You healer
When silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart

In the lone hour of my sorrow
Through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me and sustain me
My defender, forevermore

I will praise You, I will praise You
When the tears fall, still I will sing to You
I will praise You, Jesus praise You
Through the suffering still I will sing

Behind the Song:
'The song, 'When The Tears Fall,' was birthed out of a hard time I was going through. One evening I sat with my guitar and poured out my heart to God. I found great hope and strength being able to express my pain, and in the midst of the doubt singing, 'I will praise You, I will praise You. When the tears fall still I will sing to You.' Initially, I thought it wasn't a song that could be sung in a Church context. We don't seem to sing many songs of lament. However, as I read through the Psalms, I discovered many cries of worship that came from a place of brokenness. Life is full of pain and sorrow. Loved ones die, dreams fail, people get hurt - we are left with unanswered questions. That's the reality of the world we line in. Yet in the midst of the pain, through the tears God is good. He is and always will be worthy of our praise.' - Tim Hughes
