And i said what shall i cry out.? He answered all flesh is as grass and its
Goodlieness is as the flowers of the
Field.! In this wasteland of hard-drives
Of blue light screens..Of wires and modems of pc correctness.' Of soullessness i call out day and night.' I
The stranger and the alien among you
A forigener and a man of forigen
tongue ( i am from you yet not of you )
A sojourner among you.'
I cry out of the Glory of God, and the depravity of the current and former world
All the hills will be made low.' And every valley raised up there will be no hiding place from Gods revelation..
Its being fullfilled as i speak, as knowledge is fully
Available more and more on Gods Truth
And satans miss-information.! Awaken oh
Sleepers!!! And let the Light of Jesus shine upon you.' I witness not of myself
But of He who holds the sun and moon in
His hands ' be not found asleep when He comes.!
Loss after loss
Day after day
All i can do.is pray pray pray
Lifes are beginning others are ending
A lot of senseless crimes being committed
I really dont get it
I dont understand
Why is this world ??
Getting more and more cruel
What do we need to do
Its a cry out
We need you Lord
This world is not on one accord (on one accord )
(Repeat 1x)
Tears and tears are being shed
Not enough is being said
Why are so many mislead
Or are we not listening
There is a difference
When you hear and understand
Crystal clear
Dont fear
Hes on our side
And with his rules
We shall abide
Seek and you shall find
But not always in mankind
Trust him beyond measures
His blessings are your treasures
Its a cry out
We need you Lord
This world is not on one accord (on one accord )
(Repeat 1x)
Bridge
We are in need
Lord we plead
The world need your help we cant do it by ourself.
Its a cry out
We need you Lord
This world is not on one accord (on one accord )
(Repeat until chorus fades )

From “I CRY OUT TO YOU” cd
It doesn’t matter
that no one can hear you.
Maybe it’s better that way.
Would you be honest
with prying ears?
Leaving no stone unturned,
sharing the darkest note
of your symphony with
a boiling fervor?
Do meaningless minds
alter your self perception?
To hide from oneself
is to vanish altogether.
Given the choice,
one should cry out
before they’ve lost
themselves forever.
Cry out for justice
Cry out for peace
Cry out for freedom
That all war will cease
Cry out for courage
Cry out for love
Cry out for hope
That we all rise above
The Lord has heard my cry
He hears my cry
As I cry
I cry out for mercy
The Lord has heard my cry
He hears my cry
As I cry
I cry out for mercy
My Christ, the Lord
Jesus He accepts my prayer
Always
My God, My God He accepts my prayer
Always
This I sing
This I know
This will bring my hope
Over and over, over
Again
The Lord has heard my cry
He hears my cry
As I cry
I cry out for mercy
The Lord has heard my cry
He hears my cry
As I cry
I cry out for mercy

Psalm 6:9
When you are tempted
Cry out to Jesus
When you are lonely
Cry out to Jesus
Whenever there’s something you just can’t understand
Cry out to Jesus
When you wake up in the morning
Cry out to Jesus
And when you get home from a very long day
Cry out to Jesus
Tell your heart
To cry out to Jesus
Tell your friends
Cry out to Jesus
And most certainly all those who you truly love
Just cry out to Jesus
Just like I’m telling you right now
Cry out to Him
Cry out Him for He will not let you down
Waiting to come into your life
Cry out to Him
If for just one more time in your life
Cry out to Jesus
And when you feel the touch of His Hand upon your heart
And every sense is aware He is there
You will know why I kept saying
Cry out to Jesus
Just cry out to Jesus
Her heart is shared with mediocrity;
Bounded by past loves formed in iniquities;
I'm trying to reach out so;
Lord, let her know I love;
O' Father won't you please;
Allow her to believe in me;

I toil and I slave
in the shadows—
exhaustively I emerge
to your rescue
when you feel
the sting of grief
and the hot torrent
of tears.
I cry out to you
to behold me in the light,
but my mouth is closed
to pincers and restraining webs.
How it hurts
everything that I am—
that you see me only
in your pain.
Often, I have to challenge the words,
after they’re written
Often, I struggle to understand,
what the Muse is trying to say
Often, I have to cede the ground,
that buttresses my thinking
Often, the voices calling out
—are strangers to my ear

Children
Pushing away their problems
Not caring
About those they hurt
Running the streets
Day after day
After Night
Living in fear
Hanging with people
Having no clue
Who they are
Just wanting somone
To cling to
Parents
It is up to us
To save our children...
What has happened
To communication?
Open your eyes
And see
What is real
Our children watch
What we do
Taking our personalities
With them
Hoping we see
Their distress
Wanting to be told...
Stop!
This is not right!
See my tears,
Hear my cries,
Only Thou can help,
Pain appears,
Silence dies,
Unto Thee I yelp.
Got to bear,
But how long?
Can take it no more,
My prayer,
Make me strong,
My health do restore.

(based on Luke 19:40)
"I tell you that, if these should hold their peace,
the stones would immediately cry out." - Jesus
They watch the planets in the sky,
But of His workmanship deny,
And as they go about their day,
The rocks cry out to give Him praise.
They view the beauty of the land,
With mountain peak and desert sand,
And though it leaves them quite unfazed,
The rocks cry out to give Him praise.
They say it happened all by chance,
They never give a second glance,
And while their 'science' is displayed,
The rocks cry out to give Him praise.
There's evidence in what they see,
Design in nature's chemistry,
While they are trapped inside their maze,
The rocks cry out to give Him praise.
He speaks through everything He made,
But there are some He can't persuade,
And as they turn and walk away,
The rocks cry out to give Him praise.
