Intro: verse 1 I heard about the lonely day, when Jesus had to die It must have broke his mother’s heart, oh the tears she must have cried And though she knew the plan divine, He was still her precious son It only seemed like yesterday, in a stable he was born There must have been a trail of tears, from the cross to the place Where they laid him down to rest, in a cold and lonely grave And as the stone rolled to the door, to seal the prince of life within It must have felt just like the end, there must have been a trail of tears verse 2 Mary knew the day would come, she’d have to say goodbye The son was on a mission for, which he would give his life The angels knew redemption being, carried out to man He was dying there on Calvary, the sacrificial lamb There must have been a trail of tears, from the cross to the place Where they laid him down to rest, in a cold and lonely grave And as the stone rolled to the door, to seal the prince of life within It must have felt just like the end, there must have been a trail of tears There must have been a trail of tears, from the cross to the place Where they laid him down to rest, in a cold and lonely grave And as the stone rolled to the door, to seal the prince of life within It must have felt just like the end, there must have been a trail of tears Tag There must have been a trail of tears, there must have been a trail of tears, trail of tears
