With Tears In My Eyes Chords by Ivan Parker

[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [D] _ _ _
When life's at its best, [G] it makes me smile,
[D] Because it seems like God is [G] in control. _
[D] But when my heart is broken [G] and I start to cry,
[Am] That doesn't mean that I have [G] lost [D] hope.
You [C] see, there is something special about a child of [D] God,
[C] Something very hard to explain.
[D] _
[G] See, we still have a [C] peace deep within our [D] hearts,
[C] Even [Am] when the tears [C] fall [G] [C] like [G] rain.
I can have tears in my eyes and still [D] have a song in my [G] heart.
I can [D] have laughter [G] and pain at the same time.
I can [D] know God's in [G] control, even [Bm] when it doesn't [G] seem so.
I can [C] have joy [G] with tears in [Dm] my [G] _
[D] eyes.
[Em] _ _ _ [G] _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Cm] _ [D] _ _ _ I haven't always rested [G] in my Savior's arms.
[D] I haven't always trusted [A] in His [G] Word.
But [D] now I've lived long enough [G] to see His [Em] heart,
[Am] Even through my sorrow [G] and hurt.
[D] [G] I've learned [C] that He is faithful even in the [D] dark,
When [C] He seems so very far away.
[D] So if [C] you see me crying, don't think something's [D] wrong.
Rest [Am] assured, I've not lost [D] my faith,
_ [Bm] Because the tears mean that I am [Em] only human,
And [Bm] the peace inside means that I [C] am His.
_ [Bm] The tears may fall [D] because my [Em] plans are ruined,
But [Am] the song in my heart [D] never _ [Am] _ [Eb] ends. _
I can [Ab] have tears in my eyes and still have a song in my heart.
I can [Fm] have laughter and pain at the [Eb] same time.
I can [Ab] know God's in control, even when [Fm] it doesn't seem so.
I [Bbm] can have [Ab] joy with tears in _ my eyes. _
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Eb] _
