[Verse 1] When shadows close around Your own You count each tear, You know each bone The hidden hands, the shaken breath You hold them close in the fire and press They may be bruised, but not abandoned They may be crushed, but not forgotten Your eyes are on the wounded road Your mercy walks where fear has grown [Pre-Chorus] And when they cry in the night You hear it all When their strength runs thin You still stand tall [Chorus] Jesus, You are with them Jesus, You are near You see their pain, You keep their faith You dry their every tear Their crowns of glory wait Their crowns of glory wait Jesus, You are with them And You will bring them home [Verse 2] In prison walls and crowded dust In whispered prayers and bloodied trust You stand beside the ones who fall You answer back when mercy calls The world may mock, the world may fade But Your strong love will not be swayed The Lamb who suffered knows their name And in Your hands, their lives remain [Pre-Chorus] And when they cry in the night You hear it all When their strength runs thin You still stand tall [Chorus] Jesus, You are with them Jesus, You are near You see their pain, You keep their faith You dry their every tear Their crowns of glory wait Their crowns of glory wait Jesus, You are with them And You will bring them home [Bridge] You are the shield around the broken You are the song they cannot lose The grave is not the final answer The risen King will carry through A little while, and joy is coming A little while, and chains will fall What they have sown in tears and trial You will redeem, You will repay it all [Chorus] Jesus, You are with them Jesus, You are near You see their pain, You keep their faith You dry their every tear Their crowns of glory wait Their crowns of glory wait Jesus, You are with them And You will bring them home [Outro] Hold them close Hold them close Till glory wakes their names Hold them close Hold them close Their crowns are waiting there
