Words by Cherrie Huseby & Music by: Lori Beil Copyright 1999
   G                                  D                         C                 G
Suffering visits us all, there's a longing inside
            G          Em             C                   D
to be free of trouble and live a perfect life
                C                       D                 Em
since we can't escape the pain and heartache
          C               Am             D D7
we need to hold onto the cross

G                                              C                                G
Trials come so that faith of greater worth than gold
                                                           D D7
may be proven true and lead you home
              G                                  C
When trials come, don't give up
C                    G             Am   D      G
hold on, hold on, hold on to the cross

G                                    D                       C               G
Suffering sometimes is long, you feel empty and cry
           G               Em          C                                D
for comfort and rescue, from these troublin' times
C                     D                        Em
Take this trial away, why me? you say
            C                Am                D   D7
Just hold on, hold on to the cross

           C            D                              G   G7
Hold onto the cross, hold on to the hope
         C                  D                         G G7
don't let this trial be a stumbling stone
          C               D                              G   Em
Hold onto your faith, let go of your fears
        C                                               D   D7
In heaven there's no suffering or tears
