A single tear is the dam
That holds back a mighty flowing river
Such suffering surrounds us today
Such misery in the hearts of those we pass

In the dawning instant of true love
A butterfly floats by with grace
Reminds us of the hope that surrounds
The spark in the hearts of those we pass

Dear God,

Set free the flood

Give us the grace
To ask for the strength
To take the true risk
To surrender to you
To choose to allow
Your perfect love
To heal all the world

Beginning

With a single tear

Amen

A single tear is the dam
That holds back a mighty flowing river
All spiritual gifts are at your command
All we ask is ours
All we desire is stored up for us

Waiting

For an instant of change
For an instant of love
For a single tear
That sets free a river

The river of divine and perfect love
The flowing river of your healing
The source of miracles
Let it be so

And so it is
