Vs. 1
Life has a way of leaving us overwhelmed;
We’re left so weak we can’t even cry out for help.
Sorrow and grief are carved in our hearts, so deep-
But pain is a language that our Father speaks.  

So even when no one else understands-
God can….

When we don’t have the strength to pray-
And the only words we say are–
“Oh God”; 
“Oh God”.
When all we have left are our tears;
_We still believe that He hears
Ev’ry desperate thought. 
He’s the Rock we lean upon-
Oh God; Oh God.

Vs. 2
The Spirit brings our unspoken pleas to God;
Our wordless groans are heard and accepted in love.
So in those hard times we can’t form a prayer, we believe
He knows what we’re going through and He knows our needs

‘Cause even when no one else understands-
God can….

Cho
When we don’t have the strength to pray-
And the only words we say are–
“Oh God”; 
“Oh God”.
When all we have left are our tears;
_We still believe that He hears
Ev’ry desperate thought. 
He’s the Rock we lean upon-
Oh God; Oh God.
