Before the time you chose to die <br />According to Your word <br />You said ‘the stones may one day cry <br />Your praises to be heard’ <br /> <br />There’s crying Lord, both loud and clear <br />From all that’s deep within <br />I’m crying too I’m crying here <br />For freeing me of sin <br /> <br />With joyful tears I’m crying out <br />Surging from head to toe <br />I’ll sing Your praise without a doubt <br />How long and far I go <br /> <br />My happiness I can’t contain <br />Through power of Your love <br />Not since the day You came to reign <br />From Heaven’s throne above <br /> <br />The world should my fervent cry <br />Should hear Your servant’s songs <br />Should hear before more children die <br />And go where sin belongs <br /> <br />But You are God, Your Word is true <br />Your wondrous love’s supreme <br />You’d love us all to eat with You <br />And drink from Heaven’s stream <br /> <br />But who will heed Your servant’s cry? <br />Repent and change their tune <br />Will yet the world seek Truth on high <br />Before her children’s ruin <br /> <br />So hear o Lord my sweet refrain <br />With outstretched arm above <br />Knowing my cries are not in vain <br />When filled with all my love<br /><br />Michael P.
