I've watched you stumble through the valley
I've seen every tear you've shed
Though it seems that no one cares what you are facing
I am here and I will be your friend

When every silver cloud is raining
And it seems all hope is lost
The sea that bars your way is raging
I'll lay My body down to help you walk across

I know it's not fair how you're hurting
I hope My love will bring you peace

Please believe that I am listening
I know how lonely you must feel
I am here and you are not alone
Even wounded spirits heal

Nothing dries the tears of sorrow
That run so freely now unbidden down your face
And others steal the joy you've borrowed
But even hammered nails can't hold back My embrace

Remember I am right beside you
I hope My peace will give you strength

Don't turn away from this - My head, My hands, My feet
I want you to see that this is the real Me
Rejected and beaten, abandoned and scarred
I've been exactly where you are
