Bluer...Truer...Brighter

Today I 'chanced' upon this video clip which speaks for itself, the story behind the song "You Wouldn't Cry" which I had never heard before. At the end, Mandisa sings the song and these words just captured my heart along with the imagery...just to think of my loved one in heaven experiencing ...bluer...truer...redder...brighter...a million voices of praise... with Jesus.
May those who have lost loved ones today find comfort and hope as they listen.

You Wouldn't Cry (Andrew's Song)

Verse 1

All you saw was pain.
All you saw was rain.
But you should see me now.

Moments filled with tears.
Lasted all these years,
disappeared somehow.

You never said goodbye.
On your knees you cried.
Your still asking why.

Chorus

Blue has never been bluer.
True has never been truer.
Honey never tasted so sweet.
There's a song in the breeze.
A million voices of praise.

A rose has never been redder.
The sun has never been brighter.
If I could find the right words to say,
If you could look at my face,
If you could just see this place,
You wouldn't cry for me today.

Verse 2

And what you think you see,
Really isn't me.
I'm already home.
You've got to lay it down,
Cause Jesus holds me now,
and I am not alone.

Your faith is wearing thin,
And I am watching Him.
And He is holding you too.

Chorus

Blue has never been bluer.
True has never been truer.
Honey never tasted so sweet.
Theres a song in the breeze.
A million voices of praise.

A rose has never been redder.
The sun has never been brighter.
If I could find the right words to say,
If you could look at my face,
If you could just see this place,
You wouldn't cry for me today.

Bridge

You wouldn't cry for me today.
Oh it may seem like years.
It will just be a moment.
Oh the day will come
when I show you where you are going.
I can't wait to show you.

Chours

Blue has never been bluer
True has never been truer.
Honey never tasted so sweet.
There's a song in the breeze.
A million voices of praise.

A rose has never been redder.
The sun has never been brighter.
If I could find the right words to say,
If you could look at my face,
If you could just see this place,
You wouldn't cry for me today.

You wouldnt cry for me today.
You wouldnt cry for me today.
You wouldnt cry for me today.
You wouldnt cry for me today.

WOW!!!

Forwarding this to a friend who's daughter lost twin girls a couple of years ago. Her daughter's pregnancy was a miracle as she was told she would never have children, but then the girls only lived to be hours old. She and her husband have since adopted a beautiful baby girl, and the story of that adoption is another miracle.

Beautiful song.
