Full Lyrics
REFRAIN
The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord.
VERSE 1
I will bless the Lord at all times,
With praise ever in my mouth,
Let my soul glory in the Lord,
Who will hear the cry of the poor.
VERSE 2
Let the lowly hear and be glad:
The Lord listens to their pleas;
To the hearts broken, God is near,
Who will hear the cry of the poor.
VERSE 3
Every spirit crushed God will save,
Will be ransom for their lives,
Will be safe shelter for their fears,
And will hear the cry of the poor.
VERSE 4
We proclaim your greatness, O God,
Your praise ever in our mouth
Every face brightened in your light,
For you hear the cry of the poor.
