I've been there before I've stood at those crossroads Trying hard, to see it clearly The will of the Lord One thing I've learned Glad not the hard way Just a simple yes Cause He knows what's best if He closed the door God understands He'll hold your hand all of the way Don't fear the night, He'll make it right at the break of the day Just stand your ground Faith can be found if you take time to pray God understands and He'll hold your hand all of the way I've heard it before, how He walks besides you And what that single set of footprints really means It's so hard to believe When that dark storm is ragging And I'm so alone but He cared enough to carry me God understands He'll hold your hand all of the way Don't fear the night, He'll make it right at the break of the day Just stand your ground Faith can be found if you take time to pray God understands and He'll hold your hand all of the way Yes, God understands and He'll hold your hand all of the way
