Verse 1
From Nile’s shores to Midian
He saw His children cry (Ex. 2:11-25, Ex. 3:7-9)
And so He came to guide them out
To land they’d occupy (Ex. 3:8, Ex. 13:17-22)
Their cries had moved the God who hears (Ps. 34:15-17)
To be the God who saw their tears (Ps. 56:8, Ps. 106:44, II Ki. 20:5, Isa. 38:5)
Verse 2
From Bethlehem to Bethany (Matt. 2:16, John 11:32-35)
He saw His children cry
And so He came to bear our curse (Gal. 3:13)
To take our place and die (Rom. 5:8)
Our cries had moved the God who hears
To be the God who shares our tears (Isa. 53:4, John 11:32-35)
Verse 3
From Port-au-Prince to Pakistan
He sees His children cry
And so He’ll come to lead us out
To the land we’ll occupy (Isa. 35:10, Isa. 51:11, John 14:2-3, Heb. 11:16, Rev. 21:3)
Our cries will move the God who hears
To be the God who dries our tears (Isa. 25:8, Rev. 7:17, Rev. 21:4)
