We are frightened by the frailty of this life / And so we pretend that we are strong / Till the telephone starts ringing in the dead of the night / And all at once we know the world's gone wrong / When tragedy comes calling, it'll shake us to the core / 'Til the things we thought were solid aren't certain anymore / But even when our words desert us and our spirits groan / We are not alone //
Chorus: We are hard pressed, but we are not crushed / We are struck down but not destroyed / Cause no matter what may happen / We are not abandoned / We are not alone //
There are friends who offer comfort, and they mean well / But sometimes it's like salt inside a wound / And it's good to speak of heaven, when it feels more like hell / But we ask our hearts for healing much too soon / There's a Man of Sorrows, acquainted with our grief / And He's done His share of crying in the night with no relief / There isn't any heartache that He has not known / So we are not alone //
Chorus: We are hard pressed, but we are not crushed / We are struck down but not destroyed / Cause no matter what may happen / We are not abandoned / We are not alone //
