From the beginning of this own world,
man has shed a million tears
Tears for the pain they've had
in their lives and for all the
wasted years

But the saddest tears that
ever fell, fell not from
just any man's eyes But
they were shed by my Savior
and they stained The Sands Of Time

And as the Father looked upon His
Son, He had to turn His face away
And as Jesus hung upon that cross,
He gave His all for us that day

And as the tears ran down His face,
as He cried, mixed with the blood
that flowed from His side Oh what
a sacrifice of love and it stained
The Sands Of Time

Oh yes it stained The Sands Of Time
It stained The Sands Of Time
The blood that was shed for a lost
and dying world, oh yes it stained
The Sands Of Time, of time
