The Sands of Time Lyrics

From the beginning of this old 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
