If your tears have soaked many a pillow,
You wake up each morning with red-rimmed eyes.
If you’re waiting, pleading, wondering “Why?”,
Your weary cries seem to hit a blank wall.
Here’s a reminder that God is working a thousand things backstage. A thousand things we may not yet comprehend.
Be assured in His promise that He’s got good plans for you (Jeremiah 29:11). For weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning (Psalm 30:5b).

Lyrics:
You’re gonna cry yourself to sleep,
You’re gonna soak the pillow for many weeks,
You’re gonna cry,
Why? Why me?
But in spite of the ache that doesn’t go away,
You’ll be sharing your story one rainy day,
And at the next table somebody catches your words,
He hears a truth that he’s never heard.
He takes it back to the marriage he’d given up on,
Hands it down to his daughter who writes it into song.
You didn’t know…
A thousand things are happening in this one thing,
Like a thousand fields nourished by a single drop of rain,
So honey, wrap yourself in promise,
While you wait the morning light.
A thousand things are happening tonight!
You’re gonna cry yourself to sleep,
‘Cause for the moment all that you can see,
Is what you’ve lost, lost,
Why me?
But in the midst of the most exquisite pain,
You’re drawn into a peace that you cannot explain,
And the praises you sing of a sovereign God,
Reach the girl whose last hope is gone.
She never thought there was purpose in anything here,
Now the seed has been planted and it’s taking root there.
You didn’t know…
A thousand things are happening in this one thing,
Like a thousand fields nourished by a single drop of rain,
So honey, wrap yourself in promise,
while you wait the morning light.
A thousand things are happening tonight!
You’re gonna cry yourself to sleep,
A thousand miracles you’ll have to wait and see…
