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.
