Boy's Cry
Remember that story
Of a mother who was abandoned
With her son in the middle of the desert
Without help, with no one around
All she had was little
Some bread and a skin of water
But it wasn't enough
To survive the whole journey
Soon the bread ran out
Not a single drop of water remained
And Hagar, with nothing to do
With a heart in tears, walks away to not see
Her only son die in front of her
But God heard the cry of that boy
And sent an angel to tell her
Do not fear, Hagar, look ahead
And see the spring that I have already prepared
You will never hide from God
He will never leave you alone
No desert is too far
For a God who even hears a boy's cry
If God heard the cry of that boy
Believe that He is also listening to you
You will never be alone
Feel God right there close to you
For God there is no distant place
There is no desert He cannot reach
No desert is too far
For a God who even hears a boy's cry
