Title: God Weeps Too
Album: Things I Prayed For
Lyrics posted with express permission from Eli
I've never seen this song transcribed so here it is.
I've transcribed the solo acoustic and the acoustic lead stuff, but I
didn't mess with the Ebowed guitar in the background.

God Weeps Too
Words and Music By Eli
Guitar 1 Acoustic
Guitar 2 Classical Acoustic
Intro w/Intro Lead
Verse 1:
This is for the man, who never learned to read or write
He worked two jobs instead of going to school
I know it hurt you as a child, please remember all the while
That God weeps too
Verse 2:
This is for the widow, who now must sleep alone
When the memory of a kiss will have to do
Every night when she lays down, you can almost hear the sound
When God weeps too
Chorus:
God weeps too, God weeps too
Though we question Him for all that we go through
Still it helps me believe and my pain it does relieve
When I think that, God weeps too
Intro w/Solo 1 x2
Verse 3:
And for every survivor of the wickedness of man
Whether you're a black man or a Jew
Some people kill in Jesus' name, He is not the one to blame
'Cause even God weeps too
Chorus x 2
Extro/Intro x 4 w/Solo 2
And I never really thought about it
Not that much about it, but God weeps too x2
