We are stronger for the sufferings
But how hard they are to bear,
When he takes away our loved one
And leave instead a care
We are stronger for the valleys
Though we bear our grief unknown
We are braver through the crosses
On our backs are heavy lain
The are light compared to calvary
And our Lo0rd bore that alone
We may think We're all forsaken
No one sees us facing hard
O my friend, above is jeaus and
Underneathm His might arm.
