Loud Cries and Tears
Jesus offered up prayers and petitions
And He was heard for His reverent submission
But His quiet times were not so quiet in His years
He made His requests known with loud cries and tears
Unto God who would save Him from premature death
And for those who needed grace and life Jesus wept
Unto God who gave Him power and love to cast out fears
Jesus supplicated with strong crying and tears [Chorus]
Stir up your spirit like an eagle, get unsettled
Get alone with God all night like the time when Jacob wrestled
He groaned until the morning, He held on and overcame
All his struggles, he was blessed and given a better name
Men ought to pray always and never faint
Being alert and praying for all the saints
On every occasion giving God no rest
With all kinds of prayers and requests
[Chorus]
Raise your voices like Apostles until the place is shaken
Pray til something happens for the cause undertaken
Like Elijah prayed seven times for the dry land
The abundant rain poured from a cloud like a hand
Jesus offered up prayers and petitions
And He was heard for His reverent submission
But His quiet times were not so quiet in His years
He made His requests known with loud cries and tears
Unto God who would save Him from premature death
And for those who needed grace and life Jesus wept
Unto God who gave Him power and love to cast out fears
Jesus supplicated with strong crying and tears [Chorus]
