I sang this song in church when I was 8 years old (my mom picked my songs lol). Anyway, I'm up there singing and I see a lady crying and inside I started getting nervous because I thought I'd messed up or something. After church, my mom told me I did good, and I told her 'well so n so was crying', my my told me the words of the song touched her heart. I later found out that this lady had just had a miscarriage. That was my first lesson at learning the importance of music and word meaning. I am 50 years old now....and I still never forgot that moment!
In 1981, God spoke to me in my dream through this song. I woke up realizing I needed Jesus into my life. The message of the song brought me to my knees, I repented of my sins and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I can’t forget those words, “…I strove to remind you that for those tears I died..”
"Put thou my tears in your bottle, are they not in your book?" So many times in my life when I felt so alone, he came and met me where I was, and I knew I was no longer alone. He gave me courage to go on.
So glad that so many people were touched by this song. I was reading Isaiah 56:1. It reminded me of this song. I had to share it. It is a powerful & awe inspiring song. I heard it sung by Marsha J. Stevens years ago, but cannot remember where or when.
Just came to this...as my pastor was mentioning about this song in a message...he narrates the lyrics and just google it...this is the first time I came to know this song and it amazingly lift me as I am in my low ebb of life...Thank you Jesus for feeling my tears of those dark nights...
This song bring much memories. A beautiful song with meaningful lyrics.....it reminds us of the reason our saviour and Lord had to come down to earth to die for us....Thank you Lord Jesus
I remember learning this song at church camp when I was in high school (40 years ago!) Glad to see it's still around, it's one of the most beautiful songs I know from "back in the day"
I’ve looked forever for this song, and could only remember a small part of the melody but so happy to find it! We sang it at a Church camp in the Mountains near Big Bear California! 🙏😇
I like the lyrics "I felt every teardrop...". It shows us that he not only sees our sorrow but he FEELS it, just like it says in the book of Isaiah. Thanks for this annointed song.
What beautiful harmony! This has been one of my favorite songs for years and to hear them dining it is pure pleasure! In them and my Lord and His love.Thank you so much for sharing it.
I just heard this in church and started crying because the HolybSpitit touched me. I have been walking away and living in darkness for some time now. There seemed to be a force driving me to get to church this day even though I was late. I knew there was a reason, so to push on. With only 20 minutes left, I arrived, and soon after this, it was time for this song. I knew it was what God wanted me to hear and why His spirit drove so hard for me to get there. Thank you, Lord.
Thank You Yeshua Ha'Mashiach You said you'd come and share all my sorrows, You said you'd be there for all my tomorrows, I came so close to sending you away But just like you promised, you came here to stay, I just had to pray. And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by my side. I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied. I felt every tear drop when in darkness you cried, And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died." Your goodness so great I can't understand. But dear Lord, I know that all this was planned; I know you're here now and always will be. Your love loosed my chains and in You I'm free, but Jesus why me? Jesus, I give you my heart and my soul, I know now without God, I'd never be whole. Savior, you opened all the right doors, And I thank you and praise you from earth's humble shores, Take me I'm yours.
I heard this song,shortly after I gave my life to the Lord! It made me cry..to know just how much He loves and cares for us,and that was in 1977..Im ever so Thankful to the Lord that I now belong to him for All eternity!! And now it's 2023,I'm praying He comes to take us All home soon!! Thank you Lord for never letting me go!
I have been going through old papers and found the music for this song. It is so relevant to me today .To know that Jesus loved me so much that He willingly died.
What will we say when we stand at the Throne of Judgement. God loves us and Jesus died for our sins to be forgiven and wash us clean in soul and spirit. Please accept Jesus as your Savior if you have not already and love God with all your heart.
I am watching this video of an hymn I'd never heard, because I'm reading the excellent autobiography "Sing Over Me," by Dennis Jernigan, writer of much contemporary praise music of today. He auditioned singing & playing it in college--It seems, as I read his book, this song ended up being the theme of his life, though much suffering preceded his finding peace with God thru Jesus: feel I know even more what The Lord had in mind for his life.
My sister and I performed many years, mostly at our local church. This was one of our most requested songs. I had uploaded some of our songs, including this one, to Google Play Music, but it's gone now and so are our songs.
@@820hurleyj I love this song. I was a young mother. At age 20 I would rock my first born many of her sleepless nights, singing this song to her. I had learned it from church and it has always been one of my favorite gospel songs (she’s 34 and a mother of 4 now!). Is there a way you and your sister can sing it again together and upload it on TH-cam?
I love this song. It was so meaningful to me as a kid raised in the Jesus People movement. Marsha Stevens-Pino wrote it in 1969, and it became a very important hymn to the young Christian hippies on the West Coast in the seventies and into the eighties. So sad that folks stopped singing it in 1981 after Marsha came out as a lesbian in 1981. So amazing that as a young, queer kid, I was singing "I felt every tear drop" while I was struggling with my identity in a community that didn't accept me. It's so beautiful that you are helping to bring it back. Hopefully, queer kids that hear it today will be served like I was by this song by a queer Christian woman.
"FOR THOSE TEARS I DIED", BY 'WEST CREEK HARMONY', IS A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL SONG! IT HAS SO MUCH TRUTH TO IT!! "NAILS DIDN'T HOLD "JESUS" TO THE CROSS, LOVE DID!!!" "JESUS" "CHRIST", IS AN AWESOME, AMAZING, LOVING, CARING, GIVING, CONSIDERATE, COMPASSIONATE, MERCIFUL, ALL POWERFUL, MIRACLE WORKING "GOD"!!! "HE" DESERVES THE HIGHEST OF PRAISE!!!" EVEN THOUGH I'VE ALREADY GOT TWO SONGS THAT I WANT PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL, IF I PASS BEFORE "JESUS" COMES BACK, I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO PLAY AND SING THIS SONG AT MY FUNERAL! (I'M NOT YELLING OR HOLLERING, I PROMISE. THE CAPITAL LETTERS ARE JUST TO EXPRESS HOW SINCERE I AM, AT THE MOMENT.
I thought it went and the good Lord said come to the fountain (or water) stand by my side I know you are thirsty you won't be denied I felt every tear drop when in darkness you cried And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died
We apologize if you see an advertisement before this song. We DID NOT authorize it nor do we approve of it, but we also don't know how to remove it. So sorry....West Creek Harmony.
If you perform this song in public, you are supposed to purchase a performance license for it. If you record the song and play the recording only for yourselves in private, no license is needed, but if you play that recording on the radio (or TV) you are supposed to purchase a broadcast license. If your recording is in a jukebox, you are supposed to purchase a mechanical license. This is how royalties are paid to the writer of the song, Marsha Stevens, who may be a member of either ASCAP or BMI (both have websites), agencies which administer copyrights and collect fees. Since you did not buy a license to perform or broadcast, you are in violation of copyright. The copyright holder can complain to TH-cam which will then take the video down. (This has happened with all the music of Jimi Hendrix, because his sister orders it removed.) For all the other copyright violators, TH-cam (and Spotify and other streaming services) has worked out an agreement to pay the fee for you. Every time someone clicks on this video, Marsha Stevens is supposed to collect a small sum for the performance of her song. Since the number of plays each day of all songs at this site would soon bankrupt TH-cam, they sell ads to pay for the right to broadcast (webcast) this song. This song will be under copyright as long as Marsha Stevens is alive and for 75 years after her death. I hope this has been of some help. I enjoyed your performance.
West Creek Harmony did not request, receive compensation for, or desire that this "Commercial" be added to our song. It was not our intention that you should have to "pay for watching our video in any way.

You ministered directly to that lady; you scratched exactly where it was itching. GOD bless you!
Amen so true and God bless you!

This song bring much memories. A beautiful song with meaningful lyrics.....it reminds us of the reason our saviour and Lord had to come down to earth to die for us....Thank you Lord Jesus
We need Jesus more & more every day! What has happened to this place to call U S.A. People are destroying it,that they call there home .
This song always makes me cry, thank You Jesus!
My Daddy sent this to me today and it made me cry with joy. Thanks Dad!
I remember learning this song at church camp when I was in high school (40 years ago!)
Glad to see it's still around, it's one of the most beautiful songs I know from "back in the day"
It's a wonderful song. Praise Yah!
I learned this song a skyview ranch (many many year ago) which is a church camp and I still love it today
I’ve looked forever for this song, and could only remember a small part of the melody but so happy to find it! We sang it at a Church camp in the Mountains near Big Bear California! 🙏😇
I love that song because it reminds me about the promise of God for me. I enjoy singing whenever I am lonely.
Beautiful and moving. We are so thankful for a Wonderful Saviour.
I like the lyrics "I felt every teardrop...". It shows us that he not only sees our sorrow but he FEELS it, just like it says in the book of Isaiah. Thanks for this annointed song.
We are so blessed to hear that the song met a need for you. Our Father is SO GOOD!
Beautiful. I loved this song since I first heard it in Huntsville, AL in 1976! Praise to Jesus!
Beautiful praise song in the night.

This song reminds me of my mom
My mom loves these songs
I miss my mom
I love you mom
My kids are singing this song during Lenten season
To know that Jesus was willing to lay down His life for such as me just brings me to my knees
The one that brought me to my knees, how grateful I am for these words
Beautiful song and beautiful singing!
Absolutely awesome!! God bless you.👍🌹❤️✝️
Canção fantástica mais triste lembranças inesquecíveis ❤
this song shows how much Christ actually loved us when he died on the cross
Thank You Yeshua Ha'Mashiach
You said you'd come and share all my sorrows,
You said you'd be there for all my tomorrows,
I came so close to sending you away
But just like you promised, you came here to stay,
I just had to pray.
And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by my side.
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied.
I felt every tear drop when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died."
Your goodness so great I can't understand.
But dear Lord, I know that all this was planned;
I know you're here now and always will be.
Your love loosed my chains and in You I'm free,
but Jesus why me?
Jesus, I give you my heart and my soul,
I know now without God, I'd never be whole.
Savior, you opened all the right doors,
And I thank you and praise you from earth's humble shores,
Take me I'm yours.
Thank you Negra for printing the words to this song! Will have to copy & paste it to my page.
thanks for the written lyrics

Beautiful song which speaks to my soul and beautiful pictures!
Just remembered this song.
My sisters and I sang this many years ago!
🎶🙏
Val . Have been so blessed by all your beautiful Gospel songs . So uplifting and gentle. Thank you !
Thank you for letting us know you are blessed by the music. That returns the blessing to us. :)
I remember this song by Marsha Stevens and Children of The Day. It was the first contemporary Christian song ever. She is my age now and Still alive!
The 1st contemporary Christian I ever heard.
+ROGER FANCHER We are really pleased that you like it. You can "Google" West Creek Harmony and find a bunch more. God Bless! WCH
I believe that this was literally the first contemporary Christian music! The song was the start of Maranatha Music.
This made me cry and stand by his side.
We are blessed that your heart was touched. Jesus loves you SO MUCH!
Everyone have a blessed and wonderful Easter!
I like to sing along as this song lifts my spirit when I am down,
I love to hear you all sing those songs you're singing they are so beautiful and heartwarming
Beautiful :) thank you for sharing
