Regardless of the circumstance, Regardless of the fear, Regardless of the pain we bear, Regardless of the tear.

Our God is ever in control, Performing as He should, And He has promised in His Word To work things for our good.

But as a loving Father would, He sometimes lets us cry To cleanse the hurt out of our heart, To wash it from our eye.

Yet gently gathers the tears Within His hands to stay Until He turns them into pearls, and gives them back someday.
