Story behind the song
This was written for a woman who attended one of my former church's who lost her son when the plane that he piloted (FLIGHT 800) was blown out of the sky unexpectantly.
Lyrics
WIPE AWAY THE TEARS Lyrics by Peter Merz Music by Juan Tyus When the night has fallen And broken dreams are calling Oh, and they're calling out to you When the jigsaw's missing the piece Leaving the puzzle incomplete And you're denied peace of mind And your memories are standing in another place in time [chorus] In the stillness of endless night Where dreams take flight There's a Redeeming Light Jesus reaches out across the light-years Touching you, holding you, promising you Wipe away the tears Total recall of when What really mattered wasn't lost Distant memories of when No one could break the lock That kept your dreams alive But now a thief in the night Has taken, he has taken them all away Far away [repeat chorus] Standing there in remembrance of the day When your hopes were blown away And it seemed every dream had flown away Tears mingled with bitter memories They make it hard for you to see Oh, and they cut you to the heart [repeat chorus]
