Lyrics

I saw Jesus’ mama’s tears

at the church down by the volunteer fire hall

and my heart beat faster
as they flowed from the plaster
and ran down those old stone walls

I know what I saw, I couldn’t lie
I saw Jesus’ mama cry

I talked to the girl from the evening news

she had pretty hair, and stylish shoes

I said, the preacher is the best one
to answer your questions
he’s used to doing TV interviews

I know what I saw, I couldn’t lie
I saw Jesus’ mama cry

I know what I saw, I couldn’t lie
I saw Jesus’ mama cry

I go back in there almost every day

it’s quiet, the perfect place to pray

she looks down at me and I think we both agree
there’s got to be some better kinda way

I saw Jesus’ mama cry

I saw Jesus’ mama cry

I know what I saw, I couldn’t lie

I saw Jesus’ mama cry (sing with me children)
I saw Jesus’ mama cry

I saw Jesus’ mama cry

I know what I saw, I couldn’t lie (could never tell a lie)
I saw Jesus’ mama cry
