A prayer rose up to Heaven In a desperate cry for help A hurting soul is wearing down. His faith once like a fortress Whose walls stood high and strong Now weakened by the trials that life has found. No one knows the pain that's tearing him apart But Jesus hears the cries of our hearts. Heaven only knows what you're going through Heaven only knows where you've been. If you lift your heart to Heaven, You will find a faithful friend. He'll be there for you, Heaven only knows. Fumbling through the ruins Of your shattered hopes and dreams It seems your life is lived in vain. All your great successes Now forgotten in the flames All is lost and nothing gained No one knows the pain That's tearing you apart But Jesus hears the cries of our hearts Heaven only knows what you're going through Heaven only knows where you've been. If you lift your heart to Heaven, You will find a faithful friend. He'll be there for you, Heaven only knows. I may not know the perfect words to calm your fears But Jesus sees, and I know He hears..... Heaven only knows what you're going through Heaven only knows where you've been. If you lift your heart to Heaven, You will find a faithful friend. He'll be there for you, Heaven only knows. He'll be there for you And He will care for you Heaven only knows.
