I cried, how could I not
the pain was too intense
weltschmerz hung over me
dark cloud hovered
I cried how could I not
He heard me, saw me
brought His ear close by
chased my sorrows out the door
Despair left me and hope returned
I began to pray, breath in me
breathe dry bones wake up
He chased my sorrows, He kicked them out
