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

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, yeah
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
When you're waiting
Through the hard times
Hold on, don't let go
Oh, waiting through the hard times
Will only make you strong
When you're waiting
Through the hard times
Hold on, don't let go, oh...

You will never ever have to cry alone

When you're waiting
Through the hard times
Hold on, don't let go, hold on
Waiting through the hard times
Will only make, will only make you strong

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Waiting through the hard times
Will only make you strong, hold on
