Poetry: Daniel’s Cry

Daniel’s Cry
Written May 5, 1994
By Donna Shuck

(song)

Lord, hear the cries of your people
O God, hear our voices in this hour
Show your mercy and your power
Before You I pray.

 Lord, great and awesome Father
Your covenant and mercy you keep
We have been unfaithful
Before You is our sin.
 
O God, we haven’t heeded your word
Lord, we’ve not obeyed your ways
Shame of face belongs to us this day
Before You I lay.

Messiah, break through with your righteousness
O God, for the sake of your name
Draw your children deeper in Thee
And cause us to see.

O Lord, we’re here before Thee
To humble ourselves under your hand
To change in You is our delight
Oh give us new sight.

O Lord, I cry, I cry to You.
