I cry in the multitudes

Submitted by Anna

I was alone
Couldn't see the forest
For the trees
Empty inside
Was all
I thought I'd ever be

How could anyone ever find me?
Trapped inside myself
Going through the motions
Said it was enough

But in there
In my prison
I was crying out for help
And somehow
In his mercy
God heard my call

I cry in the multitudes
Yet my voice is never lost
I whisper, I moan
God, help me
And lo, he does

But I don't always
Get what I want
He'll give you what you need
Won't always be what you expect
You just trust in He

I cry in the multitudes
And He hears me
And Jesus says
Take my hand
I will lead you, dear friend
God's child
To the Promised Land

Believe in Me
I heard you
When you were
Stumbling
And down

Believe Me
I will never leave you
In the spring of your childhood
In the winter of your old age
Through all the seasons passing
Steadfast My protection
My love unchanging

I cry in the multitudes
I cried without a sound
I wept inside myself
And the Lord he came down
Said, friend I will hold you
I will dry your tears
Said, you belong to God now
Release your fears

God has clothed you in His light
Forever will this remain
You will be heard always
Simply call out My name
