"TEARS OF AN ANGEL"
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her... In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church..." - Ephesians 5:25, 28-29
"Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them." - Colossians 3:19
"Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers." - 1 Peter 3:7
On this spiral staircase I can go up or down
And either way I try to go it turns me round and round
When every street in every town turns cold, wet and grey
Through the mist I see why our angels weep today

I thought I knew what hurt was
'Til I tried to stop the tears of an angel

You struggle for a lifetime turning two hearts into one
Battle scarred and decorated from the battles that you've won
And through the years, your only fear is you'd end up alone
A heart's the gift that always gives, and you can't call your own

I thought I knew what hurt was
'Til I tried to stop the tears of an angel
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel

Don't cry all you mothers and sisters
Don't cry all you daughters and wives
Don't cry while the rain keeps falling
Don't cry

I thank you now for melting a heart as cold as steel
And waiting for me patiently while love begins to heal
I can't turn those tears to diamonds, I've tried with all my might
But let's climb that old sycamore and watch the Christmas lights
With my angel
With my angel

I thought I knew what hurt was, I thought I knew what hurt was
'Til I tried to stop the tears of an angel
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel
