Dry Your Eyes, Beacon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a light that never fades away, Shining softly through the hardest days, A gentle soul who kneels to pray, Lifting others up along the way. A heart so wide, it gives away The very coat it wears today. [Chorus] Oh, dry your eyes, the Lord above Has seen the depth of all your love, Mary Ellen, God knows your name, Through every storm you're still the same. A beacon burning strong and true, Heaven smiles when it looks at you. [Verse 2] You carried grief no words can hold, Three precious ones the angels called, Yet still you rise, still standing tall, With faith that answers every call. And Johnny walks so much like you, So proud, so strong, so faithful too. [Chorus] Oh, dry your eyes, the Lord above Has seen the depth of all your love, Mary Ellen, God knows your name, Through every storm you're still the same. A beacon burning strong and true, Heaven smiles when it looks at you. [Bridge] When cruel words have made you weep, Remember promises you keep, You did your best through all the pain, And love like yours won't be in vain. [Verse 3] We thank the Lord for what He gave, A gift of grace, a heart so brave, More than you'll ever truly know, Your kindness taught our souls to grow. So keep on praying, keep the flame, Mary Ellen, we bless your name. [Chorus] Oh, dry your eyes, the Lord above Has seen the depth of all your love, Mary Ellen, God knows your name, Through every storm you're still the same. A beacon burning strong and true, Heaven smiles when it looks at you. [Outro] Still going strong, still shining bright, Our mother, our unfading light.
