Listen To My Cry
By Elton Smith and Gilberto Barreto · 1997
Key of G · 128 BPM · 4/4 · Lament, Prayer · Psalm 142 and 143
VERSE 1
I cry aloud to You Lord.
I lift up my voice to You for mercy.
I pour out my complaints before You.
Before you I can tell my troubles.
When my spirit grows faint within me,
It is You who know my way.
CHORUS
Listen to my cry
for I am in desperate need.
Rescue me from those who pursue me.
Listen to my cry
for I am in desperate need.
Then the righteous will gather about me.
VERSE 2
O Lord, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief.
Do not bring me into judgment,
for I am not righteous before you.
I have put my trust in You,
do not hide your face from me.
CHORUS
Listen to my cry
for I am in desperate need.
Rescue me from those who pursue me.
Listen to my cry
for I am in desperate need.
Then the righteous will gather about me.
ENDING
Listen to my cry
Listen to my cry
