SOUL'S CRY
Pleading for redemption delight
Toward heavenly peaceful light
My soul’s cry … the Saviour did hear
Granting freedom from hell-propped fear.
For gift of life indeed precious
Packed with compassion* so gracious
My soul’s cry of gratitude-zest
Praises God Who answers request.
Overwhelmed with guilt’s misery
Drowning in bitterness fury
My soul cries for pardon’s fullness
With Christ’s sanctifying pureness.
Midst grief in toilsome hardship
Distracting my earnest worship
My soul’s cry asks for joyous gain
Vanquishing torment, woe, and pain.
When pride attacks, inflicting doubt
Hindering faith of truthful shout
Soul cries for illumination
To conquer creeping deception.
When triumphant stewardship zeal
Bears fruits along prayerful seal
My soul’s cry exclaims thanksgiving
Prompted by the Lord’s sweet loving.
*Luke 7:13 - And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
