Oh Lord Hear My Cry
Prayers for Redemption: A Cry Echoing Through Struggle
Lyrics
Well I been workin' this land
Expresses the duration of working on the land from the time it was acquired.
Since the day it was given to me
Highlighting the ownership of the land since its bestowment.
By the sweat of my brow
Conveying hard work and effort through the metaphor of sweat and toil.
I get by by the skin of my teeth
Indicates barely managing or surviving difficult situations.
Well my back it is tired
Describing physical exhaustion from continuous labor.
But this fire in my heart never dies
Emphasizing an enduring passion or determination despite fatigue.
Well I'm prayin' for rain and
Expressing a plea for much-needed rain, possibly for the land's productivity.
I pray so the Lord hears my cry
Requesting divine intervention or help from God in a time of need.
Oh, Yeah
Exclamation affirming the plea made to the Lord.
Oh Lord Hear My Cry
Reiterating the plea for God's attention and assistance.
Well I'm so sick'n tired of bein'
Expressing extreme exhaustion and frustration with life's circumstances.
So sick'n tired all my days
Continued weariness and dissatisfaction over an extended period.
I look for the answers
Searching for solutions or guidance, possibly in vain.
The doctors don't know what to say
Doctors unable to provide helpful or conclusive answers.
Well my faith it is strong
Emphasizing unwavering belief despite physical weakening.
But this body is sure gettin' tired
Acknowledging the declining strength of the physical body.
I'm prayin' for healin'
Pleading for recovery or restoration of health.
I pray so the Lord hears my cry
Seeking God's attention and intervention for healing.
Oh, Yeah
Reaffirmation of the plea to the Lord for help.
Oh Lord Hear My Cry
Repetition of the plea for divine assistance.
Oh, Yeah
Further confirmation of the prayerful plea.
Yeah yeah yeah
An expression of affirmation or agreement.
Well I spent my whole life
Life spent prioritizing oneself over others.
Lookin' out for number one
Admitting to dishonest actions to ensure personal gain or success.
And I've lied and I've cheated
Admitting to unethical behavior like lying and cheating.
Just to make sure it got done
Signifying the immense weight of personal troubles or responsibilities.
Well my burden's so heavy
Feeling overwhelmed and in urgent need of liberation or relief.
I've got to break free or I'll die
Desiring freedom from the burdensome situation or a metaphorical death.
Well I pray for salvation
Seeking deliverance or redemption from a difficult circumstance.
I pray so the Lord hears my cry
Repeating the plea for divine intervention.
Oh, Yeah
Reiteration of the plea to the Lord for assistance.
Oh Lord Hear My Cry
Continued plea for God's attention and help.
Oh Lord Hear My Cry
Repeatedly asking for God's attention and intervention.
Oh Lord Hear My Cry
Final repetition of the plea for divine assistance.
