The
Cry
The
world stood still …
In
that place thousands of years ago
What
lay in store … that night, they did not know.
Then
rang the sound …
The
voice that once was silent … pierced
the night and filled the air
And
it echoed through the darkness, I am with you … I am Here!
And
it came with the cry, Listen to the cry
Chorus
After a thousand years of silence,
God’s voice echoes through the night
Behold the Child ... of David’s line!
It was foretold, now heav’n proclaims the Saviour of
mankind
Do you hear His cry?
God
speaks through His cry.
In
a stable dark … Rejected at the
So
in a humble lowly manger lay our God, in flesh alive!
They
could not know … This
helpless babe that Mary bore,
Redeeming
Saviour
of the world
Would
rule in pow’r … Forevermore … Our Lord!
Hear
Him cry ... listen to His cry
Repeat chorus ...
Oh, hear His cry, listen hear his
cry
Repeat chorus ...
His
cry … Listen to
the newborn King, listen … to the cry
The cry … The cry.
