The Lord hears the cry of the poor. Blessed be the Lord.
I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise ever in my mouth
Let my soul glory in the Lord, for he hears the cry of the poor
The Lord hears the cry of the poor. Blessed be the Lord.
Let the lowly hear and be glad
the Lord listens to their pleas
and to hearts broken, He is near
for he hears the cry of the poor
The Lord hears the cry of the poor. Blessed be the Lord.
Ev'ry spirit crushed, He will save;
will be ransom for their lives;
will be safe shelter for their fears
for he hears the cry of the poor.
The Lord hears the cry of the poor. Blessed be the Lord.
We proclaim your greatness, O God
with praise ever in our mouth;
every face brightened in your light
for he hears the cry of the poor
The Lord hears the cry of the poor. Blessed be the Lord.
