Crying To the Lord

Lord, 
   hear my prayer! 
     Listen to my words
       As I cry to you 

            Look at my tears.

                I cry,
                  crying , 
                    and crying to you, 
                      oh! Lord my Savoir!

Lord, I have lost my courage, 
Lord, I am so sad that my only food is, 
The tears that fall from my eyes. 
Let your
          kindness
            and loyalty
                 protect me. 

        Lord,
              here I am! 
                          Take me, 
                                    Take me, 
Take me; I am coming to you,
oh! Christ Jesus.
                    Lord,
                    I will tell the good news of victory, 
                    The news of salvation, 
                    The news of praising you, 
                    The news of glorifying you 
                    Amen!
