The lyrics come from a the book of Psalms 56:8,the verses from a sermon by a friend and the breakdown from a local headstone with a Spurgeon poem.Hope you enjoy .

Open up the book of Tears, Open up the book of Tears You've counted and you've stored everyone of them My Tears are caused by being a fool, And some are caused by circumstance beyond control.

There's an elegant complexity in this that I really admire. Great work!

I enjoyed your psalm in a pop style! Robert
