We Cry Out

The righteous cry out and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. -Psalm 34:17

I worked at Applebees until late tonight. The whole drive home was a blur, since i was exhausted from a busy night at work. After flipping through radio stations, good old 91.5 came to my rescue with this song: Jesus Culture's We Cry Out. Simple lyrics, simple message, yet so so POWERFUL.

Oh Lord, we cry out, we've been lost
We need your mercies, O God.
We repent for our ways, and we turn to You again.

O Lord,we cry out, we've been lost
Change our hearts to YOURS, O God.
We repent for our sin, and we turn to You again.

O God, we cry out for Your mercy
O God, we cry out for Your grace
O God, we cry out, set us free
O God, we cry out, once again.

In those seasons and those days when we are weary and exhausted, the Lord brings restoration and REST. He delivers, sends a REVIVAL for our hearts and our souls. May we cry out to Him amongst any and all trials, joys and jubilee. Thank you Lord for your unfailing Love, for Your mercy and Your abounding grace that covers the entirety of our sins and unworthiness. Bring revival, God. Shake hearts of stone, make them beat in and for Your name once again. Bring passion. We cry out to you, Lord. It is all for You. We need You, oh how we need You.

Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually!
Remember the wondrous works that he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,
O offspring of Abraham, his servant,
children of Jacob, his chosen ones!
~Psalms 105:3-6



The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul,
"therefore i will hope in him."
The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
-Lamentations 3:22-27
