God Only Cries For The Living......

Recommended Posts

It seems that the country group, Diamond Rio, has recorded some of the songs that mean the most to me in my journey to live without Dennis. I wanted to share the lyrics to a new song by this group, in hopes you might be able to also comfort from these words.

Artist/Band: Diamond Rio

Lyrics for Song: God Only Cries

Lyrics for Album: New Songs

On an icy road one night

A young man loses his life

They marked the shoulder with a cross

An' his family gathers round

On a piece of Hallowed ground

Their hearts are heavy with their loss

As the tears fall from their eyes

There's one who'll always sympathise.

God only cries for the living

'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on

An' all the angels up in Heaven

They're not grieving because they're gone

There's a smile on their faces

'Cause they're in a better place than, mmm, baby, than, oh

God only cries for the living

'Cause it's the living that are so far from home.

It still makes me sad

When I think of my Grand-dad

I miss him each and every day

But I know the time will come

When my own gradnson

Wonders why I went away

Maybe we're not meant to understand

Till we meet up in the Promised Land.

God only cries for the living

'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on

And all the angels up in Heaven

They're not grieving because they're gone

There's a smile on their faces

'Cause they're in a better place than, oh, baby, than oh

God only cries for the living

'Cause it's the living that are so far from home

Yeah, we're so far from home, Mmmm, Mmmm

Thanks Ann, I do love that song too! It really hits home, doesn't it? And Randy, I also cry like a baby every time I hear the song "Skin." I used to HATE that song, while Dad was sick, but it isn't as bad now. Hope country keeps those inspirational and healing songs coming!
