AGONY IN HEAVEN
Verse 1
We met when life was still unfolding
And somehow I knew it was fate
And somehow I knew it was fate
I spent my days pursuing your heart
And soon we were loving from a distance
I pointed you toward a greater Love
A Saviour who carried us through
And watching you grow closer to Him
Made me fall deeper in love with you

Chorus
You have heard God lives in paradise
And everyone in heaven is at rest
But don't you know God is weeping
And is in exquisite agony
Can you hear the cry of heaven
And become the change it longs to see?

Verse 2
Our life was never easy on me
Though I hid so much of the pain
You never knew how deep it ran
Till I found myself home with God
I arrived with anger and questions
And poured my broken heart before Him
But when I saw the tears in His eyes
Everything inside me changed
Seeing His sorrow shook me deeply
And made me promise from that day
I'd do whatever I could
To help Him smile again

Verse 3
But even my presence and listening
Could not lift the cloud above His head
I saw Him carrying every burden
And somehow it only grew heavier
I didn't know who to pray to
Or what I was meant to say
So I cried into the heavens
Asking for help to heal His pain

Chorus
You have heard God lives in paradise
And everyone in heaven is at rest
But don't you know God is weeping
And is in exquisite agony
Can you hear the cry of heaven
And become the change it longs to see?

Verse 4
Then in your grief you started searching
Asking questions few would dare
You listened to the voices of heaven
And found the Father's heart laid bare
Day by day I watched Him speaking
Of wounds He'd carried for so long
And beneath the prayers and stained-glass walls
I found a grief that had gone unseen

Verse 5
Your work brought joy throughout the heavens
As more hearts learned to truly see
That God is more than power and glory
He longs for love and company
And one day I saw Him laughing
With a freedom I'd never known
The sound rolled out across the shoreline
Like sunlight breaking through a storm
And for the first time since I'd met Him
The weight upon His face had eased
As heaven joined His laughter
And sorrow gave way to peace

Bridge
Who comforts the Comforter?
Who notices His tears?
Who stays beside the heart of God
Through all the passing years?
Who loves Him for Himself alone
And not for what He gives?
Perhaps the greatest gift to heaven
Is simply helping God to live

Final Chorus
You have heard God lives in paradise
And everyone in heaven is at rest
But now I know the heart of heaven
Beats within the Father's chest
And every soul that truly sees Him
Brings a little more release
For the hidden agony of heaven
Is slowly turning into peace
And every heart that walks beside Him
Helps to heal eternity
Can you hear the cry of heaven
And become the change it longs to see
