i know, you know,
we all have taken blows
at times the weight is more

than you and i can bear
i hurt, you hurt
we live and breathe the word

but through it all it's good to know
we need to know
that jesus is there

and you will never have to face the hurt alone

chorus

when you're waiting
through the hard times
hold on, don't let go

waiting through the hard times
will only make you strong, hold on


i cry, you cry,
life takes us by surprise
before you know,

it'll catch you unaware
i need, you need,
much more than sympathy

but through it all it's good to know
we need to know
that jesus is there

and you will never ever have to cry alone

repeat chorus


when you're waiting
through the hard times

hold on, don't let go

you will never ever have to cry alone


repeat chorus
