Please write me a poem about this beautiful song. Have you ever had a time in your life when you felt like giving up and all you could is cry out to Jesus? Write about it!
I know when I was in the hospital this song brought me so much comfort. I knew I would be okay because God would take care of me. Be creative! Make me cry! Give me hope! I would prefer it if your poem would be personal. Give me a snap shot of what your life is like and the daily struggles you have and how you get through them or tell me about an isolated incident that was hard to overcome for instance overcoming injuries from a car accident, breaking up with a boyfriend/girlfriend, being in the hospital, loosing a loved one, whatever it may be. Please be honest. Take me into your soul!
You can listen to the Third Day song at youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOb8ihacSM4
The lyrics are:
To everyone who's lost someone they love
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
keepin' you back from your life.
You believe that there's nothing
and there is no one who can make it right.
There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
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 lost all of their faith in love.
and they've done all they can to make it right again
still it's not enough.
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 hearts.
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,
wipin' the tears from her eyes.
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 hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
that meets you wherever you are.
There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
that meets you wherever you are.
Cry out to Jesus. Cry out to Jesus.
Cry out to Jesus. Cry out to Jesus.
