We've done another trip around the sun How we wish it would've been a better one Here we are, painfully aware That it's hard to hope, easy to despair As this year closes and we begin again Here's something to take comfort in Gloria, gloria, God has come to understand us Were you forgotten? Were you betrayed? Are you alone? He knows the ache Have you been waiting? Tired and confused Have you lost someone? He weeps with you Is your heart crushed? Then he is near Enough to share every tear Gloria, gloria, God has come to understand us Gloria, gloria, God has come to understand us It's ok if you need to admit That this season lost some of its magic It reminds you of all your hurt and loss And how you're cryin' out for kingdom come No need to smile, no need to sing Be still and think of this one thing... Gloria, gloria, God has come to understand us Gloria, gloria, God has come to understand us Gloria, gloria, God has come to understand us
