Desperate Cry Lyrics by The Killigans

Brown Bottle Hymnal

0

[Verse 1]
Farmer stands watching as his crops wilt away
Farmer stands watching as his crops wilt away
Call out to the Lord God, “Help me, Jesus, I pray!
Tis the land of my fathers' and I must find a way!”
Farmer stands watching as his crops wilt away

[Verse 2]
Lovers lie watching as their love blows away
Lovers lie watching as their love blows away
Call out to the Lord God, “Help me, Jesus, I pray!
Long gone is the passion that we had yesterday!”
Lovers lie watching as their love blows away

[Verse 3]
Dying man watches as his life slips away
Dying man watches as his life slips away
Call out to the Lord God, “Help me, Jesus, I pray!
Just another day longer, I’ll do whatever you say!”
Dying man watches as his life slips away

[Verse 4]
We all sit watching as our world dies away
We all sit watching as our world dies away
Call out to the Lord God, “Help me, Jesus, I pray!
It's an end to the glory, culture lost to decay!”
We all sit watching as our world dies away
