From the Dark of the Night, for Mercy We Cry
From the Dark of the Night, for Your Mercy We Cry
As we look to the heavens and scream out, “Lord, Why?”
Why so much evil, such suffering and pain
Won’t You reach down this evil restrain
Before our dear nation doth fall like the rest
When we once had been known, as Christians, the best
“Look there around you, Oh, do you not see?
That You all have forgotten to focus on me
So, busy you run from life to and fro
While seeking great treasures and idols below
Have You forgotten the truth and the light?
Without me, there is only darkness of night!
When you shut out my presence all you will see
Is the evil remaining in absence of me!
How is it then, that you would forget?
I AM all you need for peace, love, joy and yet
You only seek me when your life is beset
By sorrows so filled with pain and regret
Did I not give my all, that you might be set free?
From the evil and pain that you find without me
You struggle through trials so filled with strife
While I stand here to offer you a new life
From the nothingness, darkness you now do see
True being can only be found in me
I sent you my Son who died on a cross
To pay for your sins, at such a high cost
Because of my love, I gave you my best
That then within me you your heart could find rest
There can never be Grace without Justice, you see
For evil does reign in the absence of me
I cannot deny my righteousness, child
For evil would then unchained run amok, wild
It is an act of my grace, the earth does still spin
Awaiting one more heart for to win
Turn from your sins and seek me, my face
There you will find perfect love, joy and grace
