God understands your sorrow,
He sees the falling tear,
And whispers, “I am with thee,”
Then falter not, nor fear.
God understands your heartache,
He knows the bitter pain;
O, trust Him in the darkness,
You cannot trust in vain.
God understands your weakness,
He knows the tempter’s pow’r;
And He will walk beside you
However dark the hour.
REFRAIN
He understands your longing,
Your deepest grief He shares:
Then let Him bear your burden,
He understands, and cares.
