This Is My Cry Lyrics

Kees Kraayenoord This Is My Cry

Looking back over the years
Seeing what I have become
I was probably more like a stranger to You
Than an intimate son
I used to run away
Hiding from the truth
Living a lie, like a heart without a home
'Till I found myself in You

So here You are to comfort me
My Father and my Friend
I humbly bow before the One
Whose love will never end

This is my cry, oh mercy of God
That You will write Your name across my heart
I will never be the same
When You lift me up, wipe the tears from my face
Bring me home into Your warm embrace
Forever I will shelter in Your grace

You want me close, You want me near
You've been waiting for to long
You invite me to come to Your table of mercy
Through the pain, through the tears
So here I am to worship You
My Father and my King
I humbly bow before Your throne
To surrender everything

This is my cry, oh mercy of God
That You will write Your name across my heart
I will never be the same
When You lift me up, wipe the tears from my face
Bring me home into Your warm embrace
Forever I will shelter in Your grace
