1. Are there crosses too heavy to carry,
And burdens too heavy to bear,
Are there heartaches and tears and anguish,
And no one who seems to care?
2. Are there shadows of deep disappointments,
And trusts that have proven untrue,
Has the darkness of night settled ‘round you,
Has your hope and your faith wavered too?
3. Has the storm overshadowed your sunshine,
And life lost attraction for you,
Have the dreams that you cherished been broken,
Is your soul filled with bitterness, too?
Chorus: Standing somewhere in the shadows you’ll find Jesus,
He’s the friend who always cares and understands,
Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find Him,
And you’ll know Him by the nail-prints in His hands.
