THE  CRY OF  THE POOR

 

Refrain:

     Am    G            Dm           Am

The Lord hears the cry of the poor

F          G         Am

Blessed be the Lord

 

Verses:

         A            G               Am

I will bless the Lord  at all times,

       C        Dm            Em

His praise  ever in my mouth

           G      E7             Am

Let my soul  glory in the Lord

             F           E7          Am

For He hears the cry of the poor.

(repeat refrain:)

 

Let the lowly hear and be glad,

The Lord listens to their pleas

And to hearts broken he is near

For He hears the cry of the poor.

(repeat refrain:)

 

Every Spirit crushed He will save.

He will be ransom for their lives,

Will be safe shelter for their fears,

For He hears the cry of the poor.

(repeat refrain:)

 

We proclaim the greatness of God

His praise ever in my mouth

Every face brightened in His light

For He hears the cry of the poor.

(repeat refrain:)
