I cried out to the Lord And love was his reply I knelt before his voice And right there in his eyes I saw love and I saw grace Tears of mercy on his face I cried out to the Lord And love was his reply There was no shame No mention of sin Or bringing up all the crazy places I had been No judgement at all Or making me pay I'm overwhelmed at all the things He didn't say I cried out to the Lord Oh and love was his reply I knelt before his voice And right there in his eyes I saw love and I saw grace Tears of mercy on his face I cried out to the Lord And love was his reply His voice was sweet So patient and kind Felt like a healing rushing river In my mind He called me child He called me friend Deep in my heart I knew, my life Was starting again I saw love and I saw grace Tears of mercy on his face I cried out to the Lord And love was his reply I cried out to my Lord And love was his reply
