Cry to Me

Loss of tears in greater fears
Inexperienced of late
Finds me running slower still
To find the golden pearly gate

Let me cry in angel's tears
Pure as human's long lament
Focused all on sinful down
Our fate it seems to find its mint

Let me cry in broken wonder
Caught aloud and put asunder
Spoke through the dying man
Speech of death and then again

Help me now to speak the truth
To my heart and to my mind
Ever tearing at my heart
Oh more satans fear to find

Let me seek the thither world
I have sinned now yet again
It seems to fit my sorry state
Broke and torn now ev'ry plan

Oh my God I cry in numbness
Hold me in the arms of grace
For my fears, whispers and sadness
I have no room for beautied lace

This old heart is feelless pain
Knowing of the wrong well spent
And the ending fearing, reaping
Of the gifts I've known to wrent

Mourning gifts are not of me
Not to cry as others have
Though I wish I had such things
Arid tears I fate, alas

Now to beg the mercy of him
Living through my dreary tale
He who lives beyond the mountains
And whispers to me in heartened yell

Beg thee father, beg thee still
To clean me off my rotten core
Which tosses me now to and fro
From my sins of tattored yore

Now to cry in silent sobs
No sound convey my ever plea
For my God to save my soul
Save my heart, and rescue me
