Lord You Hear The Cry (Lord Have Mercy)

Verse 1

Lord you hear the cry of the widow weeping
Lord you hear the cry of the child ill treated
Lord you hear the cry of the depressed one sinking
Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy on us

Verse 2

Lord you hear the sound of the proud ones laughing
Lord you hear the sound of the childless hoping
Lord you hear the sound of those in debt
And struggling
Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy on us

Chorus

Break the heavens Lord
You said the poor are not forgotten
Let your justice roar
In mighty waves across the earth
Come and whisper peace
O God of generous compassion
Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy on us

Verse 3

Lord you hear the sound of the addict craving
Lord you hear the sound of the greed of nations
Lord you hear the sound of the martyrs praying
Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy on us

Verse 4

Lord we hear the sound of your kingdom coming
Resurrection day for creation groaning
Mercy I receive pouring out in loving
Lord have mercy on us (3X)
Lord have mercy on us
