In Joy And Sorrow

H.I.M. · And Love Said No The Greatest Hits 1997-2004 [2004]

Oh girl, we are the same

We are young and lost and so afraid

There's no cure for the pain

No shelter from the rain

All our prayers seem to fail



In joy and sorrow, my home's in your arms

In worlds so hollow

It's breaking my heart

In joy and sorrow, my home's in your arms

In worlds so hollow

It's breaking my heart



Oh girl, we are the same

We are strong and blessed and so brave

With souls to be saved

And faith regained

All our tears wiped away



In joy and sorrow, my home's in your arms

In worlds so hollow

It's breaking my heart

In joy and sorrow, my home's in your arms

In worlds so hollow

It's breaking my heart



In joy and sorrow, my home's in your arms

In worlds so hollow

It's breaking my heart

In joy and sorrow, my home's in your arms

In world so hollow

It's breaking my heart



And my home's in your arms

And you're breaking my heart

My home's in your arms

And you're breaking my heart
