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
