Like everyone else, I am so proud you posted the words and chords. I just heard it for the first time on a CD by the Batten Family and sung by Theresa Batten who does such a beautiful job. I hope to sing it myself at our church. God Bless You

Tear Stains in the Sand

1. If you could find the place where Mary laid the Babe in swaddling clothes that day, amid the sheep the cattle and the hay. If you could find the place He went to stay in the desert alone to pray, I'm sure you'll find some tear stains in the sand.

Cho: And you'll find tear stains in the sand where someone knelt to pray. And you'll find tear stains in the sand where someone touched the Lord that day. If you could find the place where Mary laid the Babe in swaddling clothes that day, I'm sure you'll find some tear stains in the sand.

2. If you could find the place where He died, between two thieves was crucified, on the hill Golgotha's Mount that day. If you could find the garments that He wore. The Crown of Thorns that He bore, I'm sure you'll find some tear stains in the sand.

Cho: And you'll find tear stains in the sand where someone knelt to pray. And you'll find tear stains in the sand where someone touched the Lord that day. If you could find the place where He died, between two thieves was crucified, I'm sure you'll find some tear stains in the sand.

3. If you could find the place we used to pray around the family alter every day, where Dad would lead us all in family prayer. Mom would kneel beside her rocking chair, and hand in hand we'd join her there; I know you'll find some tear stains in the sand.

Cho: And you'll find tear stains in the sand where someone knelt to pray. And you'll find tear stains in the sand where someone touched the Lord that day. If you could find the place where we prayed around the family alter every day, I know you'll find some tear stains in the sand.
