Trail of Tears

I heard about the lonely day When jesus had to die It must have broke his mother's heart O 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 Chorus: 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 storm 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 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 land Repeat chorus 2x
