Gathering | The Cry of the Poor

The Lord hears the cry of the poor
Blessed be the Lord

I will bless the Lord at all times
with praise ever in my mouth
Let my soul glory in the Lord
who will hear the cry of the poor

The Lord hears the cry of the poor
Blessed be the Lord

Let the lowly hear and be glad
the Lord listens to their pleas
and to hearts broken, God is near
who will hear the cry of the poor

The Lord hears the cry of the poor
Blessed be the Lord

Ev’ry spirit crushed, God will save
will be ransom for their lives
will be safe shelter for their fears
and will hear the cry of the poor

The Lord hears the cry of the poor
Blessed be the Lord

Holy Spirit, Have Your Way

Long after the tears fall
I’m still your child
I put down my defenses
and lay down my pride
Love and forgiveness
flow in deep and wide
So I run to you

And pick up my cross
What a joy it is to give my life away to you
All that I need,
All that I seek
Is You here with me
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!

In times of trouble,
though trials may come
The rock of ages
is standing strong
I’m fighting battles,
but the war is won
So I’ll run to you
and surrender all

As I lay down my life
And pick up my cross
What a joy it is to give my life away to you
All that I need,
All that I seek
Is You here with me
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!

More of You and less of me, God
More of You and less of me, God
More of You and less of me, God
More of You overflow—ing

And pick up my cross
What a joy it is to give my life away to you
All that I need,
All that I seek
Is You here with me
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!
