Gaither Vocal Band's 'Sometimes I Cry,' featuring Jason Crabb, is a heartfelt song about the struggle between appearing strong in faith and experiencing real pain. The lyrics describe a believer who knows the routines of church life and tries to project confidence, yet admits to moments of hurt, failure, and tears. It acknowledges that even the faithful can stumble and feel alone, but finds honesty in vulnerability. The song resonates with anyone who has felt the pressure to hide their struggles behind a spiritual facade, offering comfort that it's okay to cry.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I look the part 

Blend in with the rest of the church crowd 

I know the routine 

I could list all the Bible studies in town 

Watch Christian Tv I know all the preachers 

And their cliches 

I've been born again 

And without doubt I know I'm saved 


But sometimes I hurt 

And sometimes I cry 

And sometimes I can't get it right 

No matter how hard that I seem to try 

Sometimes I fall down and 

I stumble over my own disguise 

Well I try to look strong 

As the whole world looks on 

Sometimes alone I cry 


I try to speak faith 

Never give that old devil 

No not even an inch to get in 

I do worship and praise 

Let everybody know 

Just where that I stand 

And on the back of my old four wheel drive chevy 

Is a fish and a cross 

For the world to see 'cause I know 

My God is good all the time 

Yes there's no doubt for me 


But sometimes I hurt 

And sometimes I cry 

And sometimes I can't get it right 

No matter how hard that I seem to try 

Sometimes I fall down and 

I stumble over my own disguise 

But I try to look strong 

As the whole world looks on 

Sometimes alone I cry 


Sometimes I fall down and 

I stumble over my own disguise 

Well I try to look strong 

As the whole world looks on 

Sometimes alone I cry 


Well I try to look strong 

As the whole world looks on 

But the truth is Sometimes alone I cry
