CHRISTIAN PARENTS of ESTRANGED ADULT CHILDREN Community Group
Estrangement makes it difficult to talk about with family, friends, neighbors and church members. Christians are NOT immune to broken families.

circumstances cannot be eradicated anyway. But the "what if's" still can plague us and wear us down. However, I never see the disapproval from the Savior but understanding and compassion.
This song was playing as I contemplated this: "The Stand"
You stood before creation, Eternity in Your hand; You spoke the earth into motion ~ My soul now to stand
You stood before my failure And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders ~ My soul now to stand
So what could I say? And what could I do? But offer this heart, Oh God Completely to You
So I'll walk upon salvation, Your spirit alive in me; This life to declare Your promise ~ My soul now to stand
So what could I say? And what could I do? But offer this heart, Oh God Completely to You
I'll stand ~ With arms high and heart abandoned In awe of the One who gave it all
I'll stand ~ My soul Lord to You surrendered; All I am is yours

And burdens too heavy to bear?
Are there heartaches and tears and anguish;
And there's no one who seems to care?
Chorus
Standing somewhere in the shadows you'll find Jesus,
He's the Friend who always cares and understands.
Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find Him
And you'll know Him by the nail prints in His hands.
V2
Are there shadows of deep disappointment,
And trusts that have proven untrue?
Has the darkness of night settled round you
Has your hope and your faith wavered too?
Chorus
Standing somewhere in the shadows you'll find Jesus,
He's the Friend who always cares and understands.
Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find Him
And you'll know Him by the nail prints in His hands.
V3
Has the storm over shadowed your sunshine,
And life lost attraction for you?
Have the dreams that you cherished been broken,
Is you soul filled with bitterness too?
Chorus
Standing somewhere in the shadows you'll find Jesus,
He's the Friend who always cares and understands.
Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find Him
And you'll know Him by the nail prints in His hands.
