The blood, the tears, the sweat Why does it feel so wrong? Disaster, pain, and death Oh God, where have You gone? The world was in Your hands You let it fall headlong So either You're not good Or You're just not that strong 'Cause the problem of pain Is a problem we all go through It turns us away From all we once saw in You It's not just an intellectual question It's the cry of a heart that's breaking in two Pain is the place that you fall from grace Then God said: The blood, the tears, the sweat I died to right your wrongs Disaster, pain, and death Oh man, where have you gone? The world was falling fast I cast myself headlong To save your rebel souls To prove my love is strong The problem of pain Is a problem I too, went through I shouldered your hell And emptied myself for you It's not just an intellectual question It's the sound of a veil dividing in two 'Cause pain is the place where I give you grace The problem of pain Is a bridge between God and man In the shape of a cross It ushers us back to Him We don't need an intellectual answer We just need more strength to reach the end 'Cause pain is the place where healing awaits! Oh! 'Cause pain is the place where healing awaits Pain is the place where healing awaits Pain is the place where our hearts learn faith again! Pain is the place where our hearts learn faith again
