Lyrics

(A)You have faced the (D)moun tains of des per (A)a tion.

You have (F#m7)climbed,

you have (C#m)fought,

you have (B)won.

But this (D)val ley that lies (E)cold ly be (C#m7)fore

you

casts a (Bm7)shad ow you (A)can not o ver (A)come.

And just (A)when you thought you had it (D)all

to (A)geth er,

(F#m7)you knew ev ’ry (C#m)verse to get you (B)through.

But (D)this time all the (E)sor row broke (C#m7)more than just your (F#m7)heart,

and re (Bm7)cit ing all those (A)vers es just (D)won’t do.

When (A)an swers aren’t e (A)nough, there is (A)Je

(Bm)sus.

He is (A)more than just an an swer to your (D)prayer,

and your (F#m)heart will find a safe and peace ful ref uge.

When (A)an swers aren’t e (Bm7)nough, (E)He is (A)there.

In (A)stead of ask ing (D)why

did it (A)hap pen,

think of (F#m7)where

it can (C#m)lead

you from (B)here.

And as your (D)pain is slow ly (E)eas ing, you can (C#m7)find a great er (F#m7)rea son to (Bm7)live your life tri (A)um phant through the (Bm7)tears.

When (A)an swers aren’t e (Bm7)nough, (E)He is (F)there.

When (Bb)an swers aren’t e (Bb)nough, there is (Bb)Je

(Cm)sus.

He is (Bb)more than just an an swer to your (Eb)prayer,

and your (Gm)heart

will find a safe and peace ful ref uge.

When (Bb)an swers aren’t e (Cm7)nough, (F#dim7)He is (Gm)there.

When (Bb)an

swers (Edim)aren’t e (F7sus)nough,

(F7)He

is (Ebmaj7)there.
