Lyrics

Verse 1

When the waters rise, clouds fill the skies

I will lift up my eyes

Sorrows overwhelm, fear I may drown

But here my hope is found

Chorus

There will come a day when tears will be wiped away

Come what may; Jesus will wipe away

All our tears and cast out our fears with His love

Verse 2

In the valleys low, climbing mountains slow

Oh, but this much I know

He will lift me up, He will fill me up

He is more than enough

Chorus

There will come a day when tears will be wiped away

Come what may; Jesus will wipe away

All our tears and cast out our fears with His love

Bridge

Sorrows may last for a moment

But joy will come, come in the morning

Anger may last for a moment

His favor will come, and last for a lifetime

Chorus/Bridge

There will come a day when tears will be wiped away

Sorrows may last for a moment

Come what may; Jesus will wipe away 

But joy will come, come in the morning

All our tears and cast out our fears with His love

Anger may last for a moment

His favor will come, and last for a lifetime

Chorus/Bridge

There will come a day when tears will be wiped away

Sorrows may last for a moment

Come what may; Jesus will wipe away 

But joy will come, come in the morning

All our tears and cast out our fears with His love

Anger may last for a moment

His favor will come, and last for a lifetime
