These words speak volumes to me

Ever heard a song that simply made you break down and cry? I mean a combination of lyrics and words so powerful that they brought a tear to your eye for no apparent reason.
Here is my short list of music that is guaranteed to make this grown man cry.
Star Spangled Banner- F.S. Key
Amazing Grace- John Newton
Rule Britannia - Thomas Augustine Arne
Morning Dew- B. Dobson

Forgiven- B. Harper
The lyrics to this song are so moving, that I felt compelled to post them. Call me sappy, but These words speak volumes to me.

I will wait like nothing
I have ever waited for
I will catch your tears from falling
Until from my hands they pour
You can leave me abandoned
I'll be here if you want back in
Like the rest I have been branded
Far beneath the skin
So far beneath the skin

You shall be
You shall be
You shall be forgiven
You shall be
You shall be
You shall be forgiven

Here I have been standing
While the time has come and gone
I tried singing to you
But you turned my words to stone
Here I have been waiting
It seems for quite a while
Changed all my reflections
But inside I'm still just a child
But inside still just a child

You shall be
You shall be
You shall be forgiven
You shall be
You shall be
You shall be forgiven

These eyes weren't made for crying
This love wasn't made to waste
These arms weren't made for battle
But to share your warm embrace
But to share your warm embrace

You shall be
You shall be
You shall be forgiven
You shall be
You shall be
You shall be forgiven
You shall be
You shall be
You shall be forgiven
You shall be
You shall be
You... forgiven
