We Grieve Because We Love Them (song)
Click Here For The Bible Study
[Verse 1]
There’s an empty chair beside me,
There’s a voice I long to hear.
Sometimes a simple memory
Brings another quiet tear.
I believe what You have promised,
Still, the separation hurts.
Father, hold me in the silence
When my heart can find no words.
[Verse 2]
Yeshua stood with those who mourned,
He saw the tears they cried.
He knew that He would call His friend
And bring him back to life.
Yet He wept beside the grieving;
Love was written in His tears.
So I bring You all my sorrow,
Knowing You will meet me here.
[Chorus]
We grieve because we love them,
We hope because You’re true.
They sleep until the morning
When You make their lives anew.
No more pain can reach them,
No more troubles do they know.
Yahweh, keep us faithful
As we’re grieving here with hope.
[Verse 3]
They are sleeping in the silence,
Unaware of passing years.
They don’t watch this world in anguish,
They don’t share our earthly fears.
Though we count the days without them,
They don’t feel the waiting night.
Their next waking breath will greet
The One who calls them back to life.
[Verse 4]
Job said, “You will call; I’ll answer,”
Daniel heard that he would rest.
Martha knew her brother would rise
At the last day from his death.
Through the prophets and apostles,
Still the promise sounds the same:
Those who sleep within the dust
Will hear the call to rise again.
[Chorus]
We grieve because we love them,
We hope because You’re true.
They sleep until the morning
When You make their lives anew.
No more pain can reach them,
No more troubles do they know.
Yahweh, keep us faithful
As we’re grieving here with hope.
[Bridge]
Yeshua rose! The grave was opened!
Death could never hold Him there!
Firstfruits of the sleeping ones,
The promise we now share.
At His coming sounds the trumpet,
And the dead in Him shall rise!
Father, give us strength to trust You
Till our faith gives way to sight!
[Quiet Verse]
I don’t know the day or hour,
I won’t claim to know Your time.
But each day I place tomorrow
In Your faithful hands, not mine.
Give me strength to face this evening,
Send a friend to share the load.
Let us weep beside each other
As we walk this waiting road.
[Final Chorus]
We grieve because we love them,
We hope because You’re true.
They sleep until the morning
When You make their lives anew.
You will wipe away our sorrow,
Death itself will meet its end.
Yahweh, keep us faithful
Till the day we meet again.
[Outro]
Keep their names upon our lips,
Keep Your promise in our hearts.
Hold us through the lonely nights,
Through these years we spend apart.
We can weep and still believe,
We can trust You through our tears.
Yahweh, stay beside us…
Till the resurrection’s here.
