April 7, 2020—
Today’s song by Third Day is a poignant reminder that in the midst of suffering and sorrow, we can always “Cry Out To Jesus”
There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
And love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He’ll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus
Today, let us reflect on our struggles, suffering, and failures—and give thanks for God’s endless mercy and Jesus’s ultimate sacrifice which free us from these chains.
Thanks for listening today.
Here are the lyrics in full:
To everyone who's lost someone they loved Long before it was their time You feel like the days you had were not enough When you said goodbye And to all of the people with burdens and pains Keeping you back from your life You believe that there's nothing and there is no one Who can make it right And there is hope for the helpless Rest for the weary And love for the broken heart And there is grace and forgiveness Mercy and healing He'll meet you wherever you are Cry out to Jesus Cry out to Jesus For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on They've lost all of their faith in love And they've done all they can to make it right again Still it's not enough And for the ones who can't break the addictions and chains You try to give up but you come back again Just remember that you're not alone in your shame And your suffering There is hope for the helpless Rest for the weary And love for the broken heart There is grace and forgiveness Mercy and healing He'll meet you wherever you are Cry out to Jesus When you're lonely And it feels like the whole world is falling on you You just reach out You just cry out to Jesus Cry to Jesus To the widow who suffers from being alone Wiping the tears from her eyes And for the children around the world without a home Say a prayer tonight There is hope for the helpless Rest for the weary And love for the broken heart There is grace and forgiveness Mercy and healing He'll meet you wherever you are There is hope for the helpless Rest for the weary And love for the broken heart There is grace and forgiveness Mercy and healing He'll meet you wherever you are Cry out to Jesus Cry out to Jesus Oh, cry out to Jesus Cry out to Jesus
