- FOR THOSE TEARS I DIED - You said you'd come and share all my sorrows You said you'd be there for all my tomorrows I came so close to sending you away And just like you promised, you came there to stay I just had to pray.

Matilde singing For Those Tears I Cry in Spanish, in Honolulu Hawaii 

lyrics

You said you'd come and share all my sorrows
You said you'd be there for all my tomorrows
I came so close to sending you away
And just like you promised, you came there to stay
I just had to pray.

Chorus

And Jesus said, Come to the water, stand by my side,
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied.
I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died.

Repeat Chorus

Your goodness so great I can't understand,
And, dear Lord, I know that this was all planned.
Saviour, you're here now, and always will be.
Your love is so great and always so free, Jesus and me. 

Repeat Chorus

Jesus, I give you my heart and my soul.
I know, without God I'd never be whole,
Saviour, you opened up all the right doors,
And I thank you and praise you from earth's humble shores.
Take me, I'm yours. 

Repeat Chorus
