When life seems like a tearful storm,
and you feel all alone,
there's someone there with you, dear one,
and sheds tears of His own.
The LORD, Himself, is by your side —
He's with you as it rains,
and when you're feeling overwhelmed —
it's you that He sustains.
The tearful rains surrounding you
are tears wept from God's Throne.
And when you cry, He weeps with you —
you do not grieve alone.
In every storm that you go through
the good LORD feels your pain.
He will not leave your side, dear one —
through all storms, He'll remain.
