Copyright: Dandelion Praise

Verse 1 

Lord, we have walked through seasons of weeping,
Waiting for dawn in the wilderness night.
Deep in our hearts, we planted hope like a seed,
Believing Your promise would rise.

Though the night may be filled with sorrow,
Joy will come with the morning light.
I still believe what You have spoken,
Even dry ground can bloom with life.

Oh——a quiet sigh,
Oh——Lord, I lift my eyes,
Oh——You will bring me joy again.

Chorus 

Those who sow in tears
Will reap with songs of joy.
Holding seeds of faith within our hands,
Though the road is hard, we still go on.

Through every wound, we hold to hope,
For Your mercy never ends.
Those who sow in tears
Will return with joy again.

Verse 2 

Lord, You brought Your people back from sorrow,
And we were like those who dreamed.
Our mouths were filled with holy laughter,
Our tongues with songs of praise.

Once we knelt down in tears and weakness,
Now we rise and dance in grace.
You give us praise instead of mourning,
A crown of beauty in ashes’ place.

Echo

Lord, You renew my heart again,
Lord, You make a way in the wilderness.

Chorus 

Those who sow in tears,
Will reap with songs of joy.
Though the storms may rise,
We will trust Your name!
You wipe away our tears,
You breathe new life again!
We will return with joyful praise,
For Your grace is overflowing!

Bridge 

We will not grow weary in doing good,
For in due season, we will reap.
Lord, Your faithful love keeps holding us,
You make dry ground bloom, You turn our tears to songs.

Oh——Lord, I trust in You,
Oh——Lord, I wait for You.

Final Chorus 

Those who sow in tears
Will surely reap with joy.
Lord, You fill my heart with gladness,
You turn my mourning into dancing.

Those who sow in tears
Will return with joy again,
For Your steadfast love endures forever!

Outro 

Tears become a blessing,
Dry ground blooms with flowers of grace.
Lord, I will follow You forever,
Till I see You face to face.
