Michael Card - Older Than The Rain lyrics
Your rating:
In Eden the darkening garden was still Unwet by all the tears from the sky. The burden of that disobedient bite Brought all the tears the fallen world would cry. The unwelcome tears that they never had known Coursed down their fallen faces in surprise. All they ever had seen was the light of His face But now the sin had entered in Their tears would fall like rain. Falling tears from fallen eyes Our faces with an unaccustomed stain We were driven from the garden Beneath a cloudless sky For human tears are older than the rain Human tears are older than the rain And so we all were driven from His presence and His peace To stumble all along this long-lamenting race. From the deepest, darkest shadows, He joins us on our way And we recognize our fallen tears upon that human face.
