Loud Cries and Tears

Jesus offered up prayers and petitions And He was heard for His reverent submission But His quiet times were not so quiet in His years He made His requests known with loud cries and tears Unto God who would save Him from premature death And for those who needed grace and life Jesus wept Unto God who gave Him power and love to cast out fears Jesus supplicated with strong crying and tears [Chorus] Stir up your spirit like an eagle, get unsettled Get alone with God all night like the time when Jacob wrestled He groaned until the morning, He held on and overcame All his struggles, he was blessed and given a better name Men ought to pray always and never faint Being alert and praying for all the saints On every occasion giving God no rest With all kinds of prayers and requests [Chorus] Raise your voices like Apostles until the place is shaken Pray til something happens for the cause undertaken Like Elijah prayed seven times for the dry land The abundant rain poured from a cloud like a hand Jesus offered up prayers and petitions And He was heard for His reverent submission But His quiet times were not so quiet in His years He made His requests known with loud cries and tears Unto God who would save Him from premature death And for those who needed grace and life Jesus wept Unto God who gave Him power and love to cast out fears Jesus supplicated with strong crying and tears [Chorus]
