From the Dark of the Night, for Mercy We Cry

In the Dark of the Night, for Mercy We Cry
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
