Lyrics:

                                                  

She never thought this day would come
Standing at her husband’s grave 
Watching strangers throwing dirt 
On the life they had made 

(pre-chorus)

As she cries she wonders is God really there 
Does He see her
Hear her or even care 

(chorus)

But tears fall close to the heart of God 
He is near to every broken spirit
Before one drop hits the floor 
His heart breaks a little more 
Cause tears fall close to the heart of God 

Twenty years since he’s been there 
Standing at the altar call 
He’s wandered so far he wonders if the Lord 
Can hear his cries at all 

(pre-chorus)

And he’s begging God to show him 
He’s really there 
Does He see him 
Hear him or even care 

(chorus)

But tears fall close to the heart of God 
He is near to every broken spirit 
Before one drop hits the floor 
His heart breaks a little more 
Cause tears fall close to the heart of God 

(bridge)

Whether from the eyes of boys and girls 
Or the mother on her knees 
Whenever they fall wherever they fall 
God knows, God hears, God sees 

(chorus)

Cause tears fall close to the heart of God 
He is near to every broken spirit 
Before one drop hits the floor 
His heart breaks a little more 
Cause tears fall close 

Yes tears fall close
Tears fall close to the heart of God
